Lost station

Hey, concerning the article Lost station, the author did request deletion on the article's talk page. Kotiwalo (talk) 18:56, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I read that, and he also said he'd like to improve it. Perhaps reinstating the prod is the best way to go?--Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
I'll place the prod back, but I think the page was eligible for speedy deletion. Game guides don't belong in Wikipedia, and the author understood this and gave permission for deleting. Kotiwalo (talk) 19:06, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of History

Hello again, Fabrictramp. I remember you said you could delete user pages/histories, or said something about using a deletion template. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for deleting my user page and it's history. I am currently requesting a name change to protect my real life identity on Wikipedia, so that I can continue to edit under this account. Normally, I wouldn't ask for special treatment, but I was wondering if there is anything that can be done to remove my history, so that people can't find my identity on Wikipedia. It's quite easy to see the history, and it would be bad for me to have to leave, and create a new account.

Thanks for reading! —Preceding unsigned comment added by WYNP (talk • contribs) 01:33, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Looks like it's already been taken care of. --Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:37, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Ron Lais - criminal acts

suggesting a page for former attorney and judge pro tem, Ron Lais, once featured in the Wall Street Journal for figuring out how to rip off people while posing as an attorney, after the California State Bar forced him to resign. He is notable for drawing the longest prison sentence (fourteen years) for the unauthorized practice of law, in 2005.

Interestingly, Lais continued practicing law while waiting sentencing for practicing law without a license. See |title |
It's an old new path

Unfortunately, due to California's prison overcrowding, it is likely he will be released soon. Given the rise in prosecutions of this type in general, and that his former website domain, Laislaw.com has again been re-registered, might the unauthorized practice of law be a new topic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by More news (talk • contribs) 19:07, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Cold Y Generation

An editor has nominated Cold Y Generation, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cold Y Generation and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. --Law Lord (talk) 01:56, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

F1 2010 (video game) season

Hello, I am here regarding the F1 2010 (video game) article. The ref cited says:

1: What formats will you be releasing the F1 Game on?
Wii/PSP - Autumn 2009
PC/PS3/Xbox360 - Mid 2010
2: Around what F1 season will the games be based?
Wii/PSP - Based on 2009
PC/PS3/Xbox360 - Based on 2010

However, what it doesn't say is that the Wii/PSP version is a different game, see F1 2009 (video game). F1 2010 is the PC/PS3/Xbox 360 version, and will be based, as the ref says, on the 2010 season. Because of this, I have undone your edit - if you disagree with me, please contact me - I am happy to be proven wrong! Darth Newdar talk 18:30, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Then don't we need a source saying the Wii/PSP version is a different game? I really don't care if it is, but the IP editors see that source and argue the 2009 date with me.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:36, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
I have added in this reference. I hope this makes it clear. Darth Newdar talk 19:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Can you please review

Hello Fabrictramp,

Can you please take a look at Bern Herbolsheimer page to see if primary sources tag that you added to the article can be removed now, or if I still need to look for more sources? Thank you!

Removal of PROD from Crazy Quilt Bouquet

Hello Fabrictramp, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Crazy Quilt Bouquet has been removed. It was removed by 88.104.15.56 with the following edit summary '(Added links to various articles and reviews.)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with 88.104.15.56 before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) 01:04, 2 September 2009 (UTC) (Learn how to opt out of these messages)

Re: Refs

Look better now? I changed a bunch of them to cite news.

Btw notice refs 25 and 26. Ref 25 points to the place where you can order a back issue. Ref 26 points to a mirror of the article that Dr. Steel put up on his own site. (Obviously he was proud to get published, I know I would be!) This look kosher?

Thanks for your help. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 01:40, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I would still suggest adding the "work" field to the cites. And combining 25 and 26 would be the way to go if it's really the same article. I'd use the Paranoia Magazine site rather than Doctor Steel's site. HTH --Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:21, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
Well, the first link is just where you can order a back issue; they no longer have the original article posted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.148.245.7 (talk) 19:36, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
Then it's best to make them both go to the Doctor Steel site.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:24, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Canadian Cat Association

Why was the page for the Canadian Cat Association removed? I am a current judge for and past president of the CCA. My amendments were simply updating breed standards. Although not allowing my edits may be understandable but to remove the entire page of the only Canadian cat registry is not fair considering most US registries still have their pages.

Thanks

The page was copied from http://www.cca-afc.com/en/about/index.html with no permission on file. In the deletion notice on your talk page, you'll find instructions on how permission for use may be given.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:54, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

What's going on

Hiya FT. I'm adding the categories to reflect (in the case of the Athletics) the moving of the team from Philly to K.C., and again from K.C. to Oakland. Categorizations like this have the support of consensus - see the Montreal Expos page (particularly the edit summaries) for some details. After that little edit-war, I re-evaluated my stance and found that I was in the wrong, and am now working to maintain consistency with the defunct team categories. If you need to know anything else, please let me know on my Talk page. Badger Drink (talk) 02:44, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Your definition of consensus seems to differ from, well, the consensus.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:47, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Expos vs. Nationals

I was wondering if there was some legalistic thing going on, where the Expos had to "dis-encorporate" and the Nationals to "re-incorporate", due to crossing international lines? That would be the only justification I can think of for calling the Expos franchise "defunct". The fact the Nats don't want to recognize their Expos ancestry, is merely marketing stuff and has nothing to do with the facts. But if they had to dissolve and re-form as a corporation, then it could be fair to call the Expos "defunct". Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 15:19, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I seem to recall some kind of wheeling and dealing with that whole move/rename thing. Perhaps the change in country had something to do with it. Either way, I don't really care whether the Expos article gets a defunct tag or not, I'm just dead set against all the other articles getting them. (Although as an A's fan, I could make a snarky comment that the team really HAS been defunct the last couple of years, but that's pure snark. *grin*) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:23, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
I might argue that the A's were "defunct" the whole time they were in Kansas City. Obviously, there's nothing legally or technically "defunct" about the franchises Badger is messing with. I just wonder why the Expos would be considered "defunct". Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 15:28, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
On a side note, the Winnipeg Jets (different sport but same idea, Canadian team moving to the US) lists as defunct in their Wikipedia article. --kelapstick (talk) 17:16, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Yet they aren't defunct, they merely moved their headquarters and changed their name. I proposed on the talk page that they could be "defunct Montreal teams", which is more like the truth, but someone wiser than I pointed out that what they really should be is "relocated teams".

Canadian Cat Association page

I am not an editor and I have no desire to be an editor however when I found myself on the Wikipedia page of the Canadian Cat Association (CCA) through a Google search for cat breeds I found links and information that were outdated. As a long time member of the CCA and as a Past President I have the authority and thought I was being helpful by updating the links. The result of my attempt to be helpful is that you have deleted the entire page so now the CCA has no presence in this site. I do not understand the process of citations nor do I have the interest in finding out. My sole interest was to correct misinformation. As a supporter of the CCA, I feel it should be represented on this site as other purebred cat registries are.

This matter leaves me puzzled and questioning my respect for Wikipedia. You have thrown away the baby with the bathwater. How many other articles are inaccurate and how many people with the knowledge would rather leave it than get involved in Wikipedia politics? I should have ignored the misinformation and then the CCA would still have a presence on this site.

Terrygreentiger (talk) 15:19, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

As I said above at User_talk:Fabrictramp#Canadian_Cat_Association, the problem is that copyrighted material was used without proper permission being granted. If permission is granted following the steps noted on your talk page, the material can be restored. (There still may be issues with advertising, WP:COI, etc, but that's not why the article was deleted.) Continuing to complain on my talk page isn't going to accomplish much, because without permission to use the material the page can't be restored.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:29, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Victor di Suvero

hello fabrictramp,

I'm just wondering if there's anything else I need to do to clear up any issues with the article I placed for Victor di Suvero? The information I placed in the article was taken from The Contemporary Authors Autobiography Series - Volume 26, Edited by Shelly Andrews. It is a very reliable source. I only put the information onto Wikipedia because I have the knowledge to do so. It wasn't specifically to advertise him in any way. I'm not a public relations person - only a graphic and web designer. Please let me know if there's something else I can do to resolve any remaining issues with the article.

I thank you for any help. elizabeth abeyta Vdisuvero (talk) 17:09, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

The conflict of interest has been discussed many times before, including at Talk:Victor_di_Suvero. You still have a conflict of interest in that he is a client of yours. The article still reads like a promotional piece. Not sure what else I can say that I haven't said before.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:29, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

The Pointer Pride Marching Band

Hey, I noticed you deleted my article (I'm not mad about it or anything, don't worry). I saved it to my sandbox, in case it can be better later. What would it take for this to be notable (assuming that's why it was deleted)? I contested the speedy deletion on the talk page, claiming WP:CLUB... does that apply here? Kevinbrogers (talk) 17:36, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

It's not deleted, just redirected to the school article. The normal procedure for a school organization is to first flesh out the appropriate section of the school article, then when sufficient content and notability is available, to make a separate article. FWIW, although you're claiming WP:CLUB is satisfied, you only mentioned regional activity, not national or international. 99.9% of school bands aren't going to have enough national notability to have their own articles. HTH!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:41, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
True (not technically deleted). I used WP:CLUB due to things I mentioned on the talk page, but not the actual article (not sure if you saw that). All of the things about that on the actual article sounded too much like advertisements. But I understand; I just noticed a lot of other band (marching band) pages around Wikipedia, and thought that what I had would be sufficient as an article. So I could do a condensed version of the article under a new section on the school's page? Kevinbrogers (talk) 17:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Sure, you can do a condensed version on the school page. Just keep it in proportion to the rest of the article -- if there's 100 words about the school, don't write 10,000 about the band. :) Sources, as with any addition, make things better.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:54, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I wasn't going to do all 4000 or so words; that would be overdoing it... maybe a sentence or two about this year's show, and one about past achievements. Thanks. Kevinbrogers (talk) 23:20, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter

I merged the content back into I Set My Friends On Fire as it was before; You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter already redirected there anyway. The (ismfof album) at the end is nonstandard and unneeded. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 23:33, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

I see where you're coming from, but here's what makes me uncomfortable with the deletion (and why I think it needs to go to RfD rather than speedy): the article before it was a redirect wasn't eligible for speedy deletion, and having page history with more than one contributor makes it even murkier for it to get speedied.
On a related note (pun not intended), just wondering why you feel You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter doesn't have enough independent notability when it had reviews and charting info. Not disputing your call as you know a bazillion times more about music than I do, just seeking education. I would have thought either of those were enough to meet WP:MUSIC. Thanks!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:56, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
As for it being merged, I think that it's better to have one longer article than two shorter ones since there aren't exactly sources out the yin-yang for the band (see Trailer Choir as another example; charted EP but I think it reads better with the EP info merged there). This is fairly standard operating procedure if the bio article is fairly short. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 00:05, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

It solves the problem of the copyright violations the other version had, and it looks like a perfectly valid stub.

A lot of your questions are answered in the links in the welcome message on your talk page, especially Wikipedia:Your first article. To summarize from Wikipedia:Your_first_article#Things_to_avoid, Wikipedia is not the place for you to advertise your product. And before someone else writes about your product, it needs to be verifiable in reliable sources, and it needs to meet the notability requirements. There are plenty of ways to get the word out about new products (your own website, blogs, twitter, paid advertising, etc), but Wikipedia is not it.
Hope that helps -- if you still have questions, feel free to ask me or Wikipedia:New contributors' help page. --Fabrictramp | talk to me 19:28, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I was not advertising my product on wikipedia, or I would have put the web address on the page. The only verifiable proof I have is in Virginia at the Patent & Trademark Office and my personal copies, which are not available for public viewing.

ROME REPORTS

Ciao from Rome Fabrictramp and thanks for your answer. Indeed, you could consider that there is a conflict of interest in me posting a link from the Vatican page to one of the Press agencies recognised by the Vatican itself, but then you should erase as well all links pointing directly at the Vatican TV, the Vatican radio, the youtube channels and even the Vatican AIRLINES! Come on: we are no different from these radios, tvs, and other companies and we do not sell anything: we are one of the recognized sources of official information from the Vatican! If Wikipedia wants to be a reliable source of inforamtion it has to be fair with its contributors. Please, have a look at our website: www.romereports.com and see by yourself that if we cannot be mentioned on the external links of the Vatican page, then why should VATICANAIRLINES be!!!???—Preceding unsigned comment added by Palio News (talk • contribs)

When I'm signed out, I can still see "19:05, 20 September 2009 Stifle (talk | contribs) deleted "Bigairbag" ‎ (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion)" if I go to the page and try to edit it. The editor also had a speedy notice on their page with appropriate links. Ultimately the editor didn't ask for restoration, but asked "Why the entry was deleted Without providing an explanation on myTalk page?" -- only Stifle can answer that. (And since I'd kind of like to know the answer too, I'll drop him a line later on.) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:45, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Oh, I stand corrected! Next time, before I make an assumption like this, I will just sign out, too - that was a good idea! — Sebastian 20:54, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
I just looked at the deleted page, and it seems to me that both the nominator and the deleter overlooked that WP:G11 requires that an article "would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic." (See also here; search for "Balloonman".) — Sebastian 21:01, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
Which is exactly why I left a question for Stifle (although it seems he may not be back for a week or so.) If the editor had asked for a restore, I probably would have done it (especially since you aren't seeing G11 either). But I've learned through experience that if they don't give some indication they want to work on it, the article will sit untouched and get deleted by someone else in short order. I'm on the fence, but lately I'm leaning toward it being better not to put them through a second deletion unnecessarily.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 21:54, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
I agree with you. I have been wondering if it wouldn't be appropriate to say that speedy deletion can be (somewhat less speedily) undeleted if two admins agree and the deleting admin doesn't reply within 24 hours. But we can certainly make an exception here because Stifle is an experienced editor, and there are only 5 more days till they will be back. And if we scared Simeona off, then it's already too late. I did post a little note on her talk page, though, and you may want to do the same on the deletion request page. — Sebastian 20:28, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 Done As to restoring the page, it seems that it really only takes one admin who disagrees with a speedy or prod to restore it. The whole point of speedy and prod is that the deletion is uncontroversial; if someone other than the author disagrees with the deletion, then by definition it no longer meets the requirements for speedy or prod. (I'm assuming for the sake of the argument that there's some policy-based reason for the disagreement, not just a spa coming along and saying WP:ILIKEIT.)
The whole making a living thing may get in my way today, but it might be good to have a discussion at WP:REFUND clarifying the exact scope of the project and best practices (such as putting a talkback on the requester's talk page, notifying involved editors when an article is restored, etc.) I think the regulars there are pretty much thinking along the same lines, but it would be nice to have something spelled out. I'll try to get something going there, but feel free to beat me to it. :) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:12, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Tom Shah

I note that you declined a speedy on this, quite properly, it seems, because of an assertion of notability. I wonder if you'd give me your opinion; frankly, I'm finding the topic a little baffling. There just doesn't seem to be any online source to document any of the assertions here (and there is a mysterious entry in the first paragraph that claims he graduated from medical school in 2017). This is certainly not the usual kind of hoax with which I know you're as familiar as I; the article seems legitimate, but I absolutely cannot find anything to document the DSO or anything else. What do you think? Accounting4Taste:talk 18:16, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll look at it in a second, but I had assumed the medical school naval academy bit was a typo -- 2007 would make sense given his birthdate. But, if there's no documentation, prod or AfD would be entirely appropriate.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:18, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
You know, I think I will AfD this -- the dates just don't add up at all. The 17 years service added to the medical career and a birth date of 1967 -- could this be some sort of in-universe fictional character? (Quite right, it was naval academy, not med school, my error.)

The Wikipedia Signpost: 5 October 2009

Re: Thanks!

All the bugs that have been happening lately are entirely the Pywikipedia framework acting up, and it appears that the latest version I updated to five minutes ago is broken altogether. I'm getting rather frustrated with it, and at this point I want to just port the bots to a different framework altogether. As I've been extremely busy lately I can't give you a timeline for this, but I'd hope to be able to do it within the next two weeks or so. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I had been checking the bot's log occasionally but with college starting I left off doing so for a while.--Dycedarg ж 02:51, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Im new here, i just posted an article TalkBack on wikipedia. It was quite easy. But when i open the page it displays a box saying i need proper sources, notability, and might need to wikify my page.

HGhori HGhori (talk) 06:07, 7 October 2009 (UTC) 10/7/09

Looks like you figured most of it out. One issue that really pops out with the article as it is now is that all the sources are primary sources, that is, they are sources very close to the subject, such as the show's own website. Those are great sources to use for basic facts, but they don't demonstrate that the show is notable, and they are unlikely to cover anything that isn't positive about the show (criticism, etc.). Take a minute to read through the links in my reply, and you'll get some good info on this subject. HTH --Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:38, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I was really glad to see you finally added some sources to support your changes. However, Cobaltbluetony (talk · contribs)'s deletion of the page as overt promotion illustrates the other problem with the article. While the first version could have stood a bit more positive info, your version eliminated any criticism and turned it into a hagiography. Given your tenacity, I'm sure you'll recreate the article sooner or later -- I'd strongly suggest you read WP:NPOV and WP:RS before doing so, in order to write a more balanced, well sourced article.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:28, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Source is a Wikipedia mirror

Hi. :) Glad to see you working SCV. I ran into an unusual situation today at CP (which also lists these articles) that I occasionally see and thought I'd give you a heads up. Wong Wah Bo was cpied from a Wikipedia mirror, but (of course) unless the contributor of the text here was the original contributor, its reuse is still a copyright problem without attribution. This one is relatively simple, since it was PRODded. It gets complex when the article was deleted at AfD but is not a good candidate for G4--as when it has been expanded and altered. I've gone ahead and restored the original history in order to keep attribution intact and meet our own reuse policy. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:32, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Elder-Geek.com

Hello Fabrictramp, We are sorry to see that you deleted our page. Elder-Geek.com LLC we are recognized by the video game developers at large. We attend all major video game conferences and events, and our site gets thousands of hits and views. We are curious at what we need to do to alter our entry in order to stay on Wikipedia. The main reason that we decided to enter into Wikipedia was because some of our colleagues in the industry recommended that we do so. We only ask that you reevaluate our site and go to it to see how professional we actually are. Please let us know what we can do to alter our entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kippbaby1 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

It has nothing to do with how professional your site is or isn't. Instead, there are two issues that would need to be addressed. One is that you have a conflict of interest in writing a Wikipedia article about a site you are involved with. Even if you managed to write the article in a neutral, unbiased tone, others would suspect there was bias. The bigger issue is one of showing how the site meets the requirements of WP:Notability, especially Wikipedia:Notability (web).
If, after reading the links in the above paragraph, you think you can write an unbiased article that also shows your site is notable, I'd suggest you do it at a subpage of your userpage, such as at User:Kippbaby1/Elder-Geek.com. When you think it's ready, post a request at WP:FEED to get feedback and make sure you've met the requirements.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:09, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Re: Secret Maryo Chronicles

The proper action would have been to take it to WP:DRV, not to restore and start a new AFD. Andre (talk) 19:46, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Which would accomplish what? The article isn't substantially the same as the deleted version, so it wasn't eligible for G4. However, if you feel strongly your latest unilateral G4 was correct, feel free to speedy it again and I'll gladly take it to DRV, where they can restore and restart the AfD.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 19:59, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
It WAS substantially the same. Look at the diffs. Also, my G4 isn't unilateral, it's following policy. Andre (talk) 20:00, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
(edit conflict)I looked at the 2005 version (the one discussed at the first AfD) and the current one. And by unilateral, I mean that you deleted on sight, rather than the preferred method of tagging and letting another admin look at it to double check. But no matter -- I'll see you at DRV.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:02, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
You didn't even check the so-called sources, did you? We have 3 allegedly: [3] [4] [5]. [1] is a web-hosting site which is not a WP:RS, and even if it were RS, it's a trivial mention that does not work for notability or a reference. [2] is a dead link. [3] is a real source but a trivial mention in a top 10 list. There's no way any admin should be taking a single edit anonymous editor on his word against an article that's been deleted for years with no sources. Andre (talk) 20:04, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
You completely missed the point. If I had thought the sources were stellar, I wouldn't have started another AfD. The point is that the article has substantially changed from the AfD and an attempt was made to address the problems noted at the AfD. I'm really unclear on what word you think I'm taking from the editor (or even why it makes a difference that they are anonymous). They said sources were added, I looked and found that to be true. What no admin should be doing is speedily deleting articles where that deletion is controversial, which is the case here.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:32, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
I would say cut your losses and don't even create the DRV. It will just make you look foolish. Admins should not carry out un-deletion campaigns on the part of anonymous editors with no edits as this is the sort of thing that happens. This is probably just a fan of the game who doesn't understand Wikipedia's notability and attribution policies. Andre (talk) 20:11, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the free advice. I'll give you some too. Admins should not be on deletion campaigns, either. Are you perhaps too personally involved with it? The idea of the community deciding if this is notable sure seems to bother you a lot. Personally, I'm going to have a cup of tea and a walk in the sunshine instead of getting my knickers in a twist.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:32, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Just with a quick read of the discussion, you might also read WP:ATHLETE to see what the guideline being discussed is. Hope that helps!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:04, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again—Preceding unsigned comment added by Upgradejrrn (talk • contribs)

(edit conflict)The deletion discussion will go for 7 days, and people will make their arguments as to whether the article meets the criteria for inclusion. At the end of the 7 days an administrator will read the arguments and decide which side, if any, has made the better policy-based argument. Wikipedia:Guide to deletion has some really good information on this process.
And just on a personal note, thanks for sticking though the process and improving the article.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Laris Gaiser

This guy has no references and violates WP:BIO. This is not what REFUND is supposed to be used for. sl has no sources either. Google turns up the university where he works - not all professors are notable - and no other reliable secondary sources, English or otherwise, to support general notability. Maybe they exist, but the onus is on editors to provide them when they assert notability for the inclusion of biographies, not on us to allow them time to let their article languish source-less in the article mainspace. Let them provide sources in advance of having the article be undeleted. Otherwise you are making more work for someone to come along and re-prod or AFD the article in a few months when it still has no references. Andre (talk) 07:27, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Any prod that is contested, even after deletion, may be restored, and this is exactly what WP:REFUND is for. Previously, an editor would take it to DRV and the article would be immediately restored, without discussion, as a contested prod. WP:REFUND was set up as a way to ease the work on DRV, and this type of case was explicitly discussed when the project was set up. The thinking is that we should not unduly penalize editors who don't check in on an article every single week in order to contest a prod; it makes no more work then if the prod was contested before the 7 days were up.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:01, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Jay Sorrels

Hi There

Thank you for taking an interest in my articles. I can assure you that I am the only user of this account and am making every attempt to be neutral and informative in the articles I am contributing to avoid any kind of percieved conflict of interest. I have written on Frank as we get asked about ourselves a lot, we have won major awards, our peer companies are on Wikipedia and given the nature of our clients and the publically held status of our parent company we thought an article was noteworthy for inclusion.

I'm still learning the syntax and style and I appreciate your bearing with me. It looks like the changes needed are along the lines of:

-adding respectable third party references -removing some external links -making some stylistic changes -adding the article to appropriate categories

Is this a fair assesment? I'm more than happy to do this but am still working out the technicalities and need some guidance. I've benefited from Wikipedia since the start and sure don't want to do anything that would upset the editors or add muck to the system. Let me know your thoughts.

Hello

You recently declined a speedy delete for the above, can I ask you to review this as claims in regards to links with The Dorchester and Plaza Athenee stays are false and no record of either

Marma1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marma1 (talk • contribs) 16:07, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

To avoid deletion under WP:CSD#A7 the article only needs to make a good faith claim of importance. This means a claim that a reasonable, but inexperienced, editor would think is enough to get someone into a site like this. It's meant to exclude articles like "Jenny is a cute girl and I like her". This article has good faith claims of importance, such as founding a business, so it's not eligible for A7.
In the edit summary, the speedy tagger also indicated s/he thought the article was a hoax. I almost deleted it on those grounds, until I realized that the online links do mention him, just by his first name, not the middle name. To be eligible for speedy deletion as a hoax, the article needs to be a blatantly obvious hoax, such as "My grandfather was the first man on the moon, in 1917."
All this is a long way to say that the article still isn't eligible for speedy deletion. If you think this person isn't notable enough for inclusion (and the article certainly doesn't show notability at this point), feel free to propose it for deletion or take it to AfD.

I just took a look at this article, and I've declined the speedy deletion request because you claim on the talk page the group has won awards. However, there are a couple of issues that need to be addressed if you want the article to stick around.
I noticed the article has already been deleted one as unambiguous advertising, and you say above that you are connected with the group. Take a minute to carefully read WP:COI; the current version also reads like an advert, so you are clearly having trouble writing a neutral, encyclopedic version of the article. I'd suggest either not writing about topics where you have a conflict of interest, or posting a request at WP:FEED to get some advice on how to rewrite the article.
The other serious issue is references. To stick around, the group needs to be notable. (There are some specific requirements for that, so read the link.) Adding references that show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" is the best way to show the group is notable.
I'd suggest fixing these problems quickly to avoid deletion. Even if someone does nominate it before you get it fixed, you'll have seven days to fix all the issues, so don't panic. But they do need to be fixed if you want the article to stay. Hope that helps! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:19, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

V.V.L.N.Sastry

Dear Fabrictramp

Thank you very much for restoring the article on V.V.L.N.Sastry.

I was the originator of this article of V.V.L.N.Sastry. As a third person, I have taken utmost care in presenting a nuetral view. I have searched the NET and found more than 3500 sources, when you search the name of V.V.L.N.Sastry on Google. He is an young icon for many economically middle class persons in India. Many people like us watch him daily on TV in various shows relating to Economy and get more knowledge.

While creating this article, due to my lack of knwoledge in putting these pages across, I have done the page as I could do. But you can help us in improving this page. I donot know, how to provide references in the running text, you can also help me in doing so. There are many credible references available about V.V.L.N.Sastry on the net.

IT-Commerce

IT-Commerce, consist of purchasing and procuring of goods and services within a corporate Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. IT-Commerce allows corporate computer users to order software, peripherals, and IT services based on an ITIL Service Catalog via a web portal from the user’s computer. IT-Commerce is conducted in the following way, IT departments determine what goods and services are needed by their corporate users to accomplish their daily tasks. Once these have been determined they are put in a Service Catalog so users can search and order via their corporate infrastructure. To ensure users cannot order items not needed or over order, workflows are created to ensure the users request are routed to their manager or the IT department for approval.

Almost all of today’s IT ordering of software, computers or peripherals is done via a service desk request or a phone call into the helpdesk and requires human interaction, IT-Commerce automates this legacy environment and moves IT departments in to a Web 2.0 realm.

my contribution

Hello, I recently added a new page "red biblica" that you deleted. I would like to know how I must add content so that it's not deleted. Thanks. John Wry — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnwry (talk • contribs) 11:47, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

The first step would be to write the page in English. Spanish language articles need to go to es.wikipedia.org
The next step is to make some claim in the article about why the website / organization is important enough to be in an encyclopedia. WP:Notability will give you some ideas on what is needed.
If you want to take another stab at the article, I'd suggest reading WP:FIRST, WP:BETTER and WP:Notability. Then make a draft at a subpage of your user page, such as at User:Jnwry/Red bíblica. That will give you more, but not unlimited, time to work on it. When you think it's ready, get some feedback by posting a request at WP:FEED.

User talk:Matheuler

When browsing WP:REFUND I noticed the case of the guy whose user talk got deleted, and now he can't get it restored since he can't prove his identity. (Per your looking into his request on October 12). Though this is perhaps not an earthshaking issue, I do notice that WP:CSD#U1 says specifically that user *talk* pages may not be deleted under that criterion. Do you think you could justify bring back User talk:Matheuler on simple procedural grounds, since the U1 was not correct? (It needs an MfD according to what is currently written down in the policy). A glance at the deleted talk page shows nothing that would cause concern. EdJohnston (talk) 02:24, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Victor di Suvero

hello Fatrictramp. I just wanted to follow up on the conflict of interest with Victor di Suvero. Just letting you know that the information contained in this article didn't come from me. I didn't write the information. It came from the GALE Authors Biographical Series 

that's sited in the article as a reference.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to resolve the conflict. I only put the information there, but didn't write the article itself. The information is from a neutral and very reliable source. Thanks for your help. I know we've talked about this before, but I just want to let you know that the information didn't come from me, and I would hate to have this removed as It is a reliable article. Thanks so much for all. 71.38.209.190 (talk) 19:06, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Ah, just figured out you have a type on the section heading. Aspektz was deleted as a copyright infringement. It doesn't appear to be protected from recreation, so feel free to create a new version that's not a copyvio. Given that the article's been deleted several times, I'd suggest signing in for a free account and working on it at a subpage of your userpage. Then, when you think it's ready, post a request at WP:FEED and have an experienced editor review it before moving it to main space. HTH! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:43, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello Fabrictramp, The Common Soles article was deleted today. We are working hard to make it a valuable resource on a notable organization. What is of highest value to the public is the information on the business model which is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of Natacha Merritt

The article Natacha Merritt has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Rhomb (talk) 22:31, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

PROD tags

PROD tags do not "expire".[6] They are removed if someone wishes to retain the article, but there is no expiration. The only time limit is that a certain amount of time must pass before the article is deleted. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave me a message. I hope the holidays are treating you well. Cheers! Vassyana (talk) 07:38, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I already knew that. What wording would you prefer for an edit summary when I remove a prod tag from an article that has been restored after deletion?--Fabrictramp | talk to me 08:03, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm a bit confused by your question. The article has no deletion history. PROD tags should only be removed if you intend to actively support the retention of the article or if the article was improperly tagged. If you contest the proposed deletion, an explanation should be left on the talk page explaining the retention of the article. If the tag is being removed because it was improperly applied, then the edit summary should note the reason. (Such as: "Removing PROD tag; previous AfD.") If I can further clarify, please let me know. Vassyana (talk) 07:57, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
For restored deletions, I'd recommend an edit summary such as: "Restored article per WP:REFUND request." If restoring a PRODed article, please use {{oldprodfull}} on the talk page. It would also be good to notify the PROD nominator and deleting admin of the restoration with {{deprod}}. Thanks! Vassyana (talk) 13:21, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Since the prod nominator was an IP[7], I didn't see much point in notifying them. My experience with notifying the deleting admin has been that more complain about the notification than appreciate it. (Those who want to know generally are savvy enough to watchlist the page).--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:04, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
If I may, the deletion log says that it has indeed been deleted per prod, but was restored by Fabrictramp per an request at WP:REFUND several weeks later. Timotheus Canens (talk) 08:05, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

It's often a good idea to work on drafts of articles at a subpage of your user page, such as at User:Montrealfitness/Andre Begin, because that gives you much more time to work on it. Looking at the deleted version, I'd suggest paying particular attention to the tone (reads like a promotional piece, not an encyclopedia article), and make sure you add some reliable sources not connected to the subject.

Wikipedia:Uploading images is probably what you're looking for. Also, when you make a new section on someone's talk page, it's a good idea to do it at the bottom, since that's where they'll be looking for it. Also, don't forget to sign your talk page posts, either by typing -~~~~ at the end, or by pressing the button above the edit window that looks like a squiggle.

Yeah, you used G4, recreation of an article previously deleted at AfD. (We'll have to agree to disagree on the lack of content -- to me, it's a perfectly valid stub.) And if you look at the two previous prods, the reason (including the prod I placed myself) was that the novel had not yet been published. It's now published and has at least one review[10], and is in at least 750 libraries in the US.[11] --Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:19, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Braynzzzz!
Ahem. Sorry for the zombie impersonation. I actually had a few questions to ask. Your comments at T:RfA were quite sound, and I was wondering if I could get your input on how the process could be less of a bitch-fest, gauntlet-y type of thing. I get that some RfA's need to ferret out problems, but not everyone is a secret, sock-puppeteering baby-eater. There is no need for some of the craziness that often erupts at these things. I'd very much value your input, as the term limit proposal would become far more pactical if we have a way to address some of the valid concerns that (not only) admins might have about going (back) to RfA. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 01:24, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Zombie is about how I feel this morning! LOL Once I get some tea in me, I hope that will improve. :)
More than happy to brainstorm and answer questions. I can't say I have a magic formula, but I think you put it perfectly above. Craziness isn't productive and it rarely weeds out the few secret sock-puppeteering baby-eaters anyways, but it does drive away anyone who is moderately sane and not fond of drama. But how to have a lack of drama? Humans aren't really good at that, online even less so.
I've been staying away from RfA lately because of work / real life craziness, but my schedule is becoming (for a time) more settled, so I'll poke around a bit, think some deep thoughts, and make some notes. I do appreciate your dropping a note here (and I hope we continue the discussion), because yours does seem like one of the better proposals. I really hope we can make something work.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:58, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for replying, Fabrictramp. I do wish to continue the conversation, It seems to be proceeding apace, so I think I'll look and listen to the good and bad ideas alike and let some ownership of the idea develop. It's my proposal, but its for the good the entire wiki-en. As you noted, it isn;t the first time someone has proposed something like this.

Proposed deletion of Carlo Viberti

The article Carlo Viberti has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

notability, verifiability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
— V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 16:26, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Hiya Fabrictramp, I wanted to ask you about this de-prod. I'd love to "save" Carlo Viberti, so if you could point out a link I'll be very happy to add the info to his article. I did quite a bit of digging myself though, and I'm just really uncertain that it's a worthwhile article. Based on what I've been able to find and add to it the article seems somewhat like a vanity article; if he can have an article then I probably could as well, since I've probably flown around on more NASA aircraft then he has... anyway, barring something showing up that I've overlooked (which is a distinct possibility!), I don't mind taking it to AFD, but I was hoping that you'd remember what you saw that made you de-prod it, so that I could add that to the article. Thanks!
— V = I * R (Talk • Contribs) 22:00, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
I'll add a few that caught my eye. No problem if you take it to AfD (the sources aren't as solid as I'd like), but to my mind it's not enough of an unquestionable case for PROD to be appropriate. Good chance to practice reading Italian anyways. :) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:50, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
I've added a few, but I'm less than thrilled with them, so as I said above, feel free to take to AfD.

Tony Samara article

Hello Fabrictramp,

I would like to request the undeletion of the article about Tony Samara since I believe that significant new information has come to light since the deletion namely:

- The subject is now a published author in English, French, German, Portuguese and Croatian with the book, "Shaman's Wisdom".

- He is now the object of a recently published biography by Nomi Sharron: "Tony Samara: v. 1 and 2: The Making of a Modern Shaman... and Beyond".

I believe this qualifies for notability and for restoration of the article.

I'll pretty much echo what Dori said. Also, I'm not sure you understand why the Sharron book is problematic. True, it's not published by Samara himself. But on-demand publishing is not the same has having a major publisher with a real editor decide that the book is well enough researched and about an important enough subject. Anyone can publish a book on anything using print-on-demand -- I can write a book tonight about my neighbor's dog and publish it tomorrow using POD, but that doesn't make the dog notable, no matter how cute she is.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:01, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Championship games

It may surprise you to learn that "championship games" is the term used in the baseball rules book Section 4.13, for example to refer to regular season games. This is in contrast to exhibition games, which can be played under rules that may differ from the official rules. It's also a jargon term that probably ought not be used that way in the article, as "regular season" is a much more commonly used term. But I thought you might like to know, if you didn't know already. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:40, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Good to know. I had a feeling it was a technical term, but my objection to it is because of how a casual reader (ie someone who isn't a SABR member *grin*) would interpret the term. I can just see some eager editor deciding to delete every player on the Cubs page who played after 1945... --Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:25, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm not totally sure, but I think the rules makers consider the World Series to be an exhibition series, in some sense. The post-season is governed by MLB itself, whereas the regular season gives the clubs a lot more discretion in how they do things. But if the article were to say "championship games", it would probably require a link that would explain the term, which seems a bit much. "Regular season" is clear. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:47, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Are you playing some kind of sick joke??

Hello, Fabrictramp --

My name is Anthony Flacco and I am the author of "A CHECKLIST FOR MURDER: The True Story of Robert John Peernock." I noticed that you fouled Mr. Peernock's page with a specious comment to the effect that you were "having trouble" determining whether the book is true or false. I wonder, what part of "The TRUE Story of Robert John Peernock" did you fail to understand? Mr. Peernock is not a "whistleblower," he is a cowardly murderer who beat his wife to death with a tire-iron and then beat his seventeen-year-old-daughter in the same fashion in an attack that she barely survived and from which she will never fully recover. I began the writing of this book in the hope that he might ACTUALLY BE INNOCENT, because who doesn't love a good story about a wrongly accused person? The clear and abundant evidence against Peernock, most of which he created with his own hands, leaves no doubt for anyone who is free from the taint of special interest in the matter. So I ask you, Fabrictramp, are YOU connected to him in some way? Who else would have any interest in minimizing the horrors that this foul man perpetrated? If you have bothered to acquaint yourself with the PROVEN FACTS of this atrocious family tragedy and the abundant PHYSICAL EVIDENCE against him, you would never have publicly expressed doubt on his behalf. Garbage like him feeds upon any scrap of "doubt" that can be created. Shame on you and shame on your irresponsibility. You are a classic example of an irresponsible internet denizen who posts your poorly research crap without thinking because you feel immune from answering for your foolishness.

Where the hell are your morals?

-- Anthony Flacco —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthony Flacco (talk • contribs) 22:05, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

No, I am in no way connected with Mr. Peernock.
Could you please show me the edit to Robert Peernock where I "fouled Mr. Peernock's page with a specious comment to the effect that you were "having trouble" determining whether the book is true or false"? In reviewing the edit history of that page, I don't see anything suggesting that. The only thing I can possibly see is this edit, where you may have misinterpreted the edit summary. "need more refs to show notability" in no way implies anything about your book (which you might note that I added to the page, replacing the link to http://www.freerobertpeernock.com, which seemed a bit biased to me). It simply means that for Mr. Peernock to be notable enough to merit a Wikipedia article, we need more coverage of him than just your book; additional coverage in newspapers, magazines, other books would show that he is notable enough for a Wikipedia article.
Also, you might want to take a minute to read Wikipedia:Civility. It would really help our communication if you did.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:21, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Re Vegan for the Earth page deletion.

This is my response to your decision to refuse to reinstate the Vegan for the Earth page. Your first objection is that the page is an infringement of copyright. To this I would inform you that the webpage to which you refer is mine, and entirely free of copyright, as is all of my website. Your second objection is that the wikimpage represents advertising. This I am at a loss to understand as I have absolutely no commercial interest, but am rather trying to inform people, surely the purpose of wikipedia, regarding a subject, not just of interest, but of serious global concern. I would once again ask that you restore this page as soon as possible, so that I continue with my work of educating people as to the crucial link between animal farming, meat consumption, and potentially catastrophic climate change. Thank you. Matt Clowes. Veganfortheearth (talk) 17:15, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Your post here demonstrates exactly the problem with restoring the page. You wrote a page with text from your web site, linking to your web site, advocating a position in decidedly non-neutral terms. Advertising does not mean that one has a commercial interest, it can also be to promote a single point of view or cause, without a neutral point of view.
Since you aren't satisfied with the original deletion or my decision not to restore the page, you can certainly take the matter to deletion review.

दिनांक 8 मार्च 2010 को दैनिक समाचार पत्र दैनिक जागरण मे एक खबर छपी कि माआवादियों के नेता किशनजी ने मीडिया के माध्यनम से महाश्वेकता जी से केन्द्रा और माओंवादियों के बीच मध्य स्थयता करने की अपील की है। इस वीच तथाकथित वुद्धिजीवियों ने भारत सरकार से मेदिनीपुर जिले के लालगढ मे महीनों से चल रहे सुरक्षाबलों के संयुक्तम अभियान को तत्का ल बन्दह करने की अपील की है दलील है कि इस अभियान मे निर्दोश लोग मारे जा रहे है। इन लोगो ने पुलिस संत्रास प्रतिरोध जनजागरण समिति के नेता लालमोहन अुडू की हाल मे हुई हत्यात का उदाहरण दिया है। मै इस लेख के माध्ययम से इन बुद्धिजीवियों को अवगत कराना चाहता हू कि दिनांक 29 अक्टूमबर 2009 को महाश्वेाता जी का एक लेख इसी समाचार पत्र मे छपा था जिसमे महाश्वेयता जी ने नक्सरलवाद के बजाय गैर वरावरी को देश की सवसे वडी समस्याा माना था और नक्ससल विरोधी अभियान को रोकने की अपील की थी। महाश्वेशता जी के लेख के कुछ आकडे मै प्रस्तुयत कर रहा हू। उक्त लेख मे बताया गया था कि नक्स लवाद भारत के 20 राज्योंे के 223 जिलो के 2000 थाना क्षेत्रों मै फैला हुआ है। सरकारी आकडों के अनुसार विगत वर्ष मे माओवादी हिंसा मे 721 लोग मारे गये इस वर्ष अगस्तअ तक 550 लोग मारे गये। विगत डेढ वर्ष मे 481 पुलिस कर्मी शहीद हुये। क्याि ये लोग निर्दोश नही थे क्याि ये लोग भारतवासी नही थे क्याय इनके सुरक्षा का दायित्वत भारत एवं राज्ये सरकार का नही है। आमतौर पर सरकारों पर आरोप लगता है कि वह अपराध पर प्रभावी अंकुश लगाने मे असमर्थ है सरकार मे इच्छा शक्ति नही है सरकार अपराधियों के प्रति सहानुभति रखती है आदि आदि। लेकिन जब सरकार अपराधियों के विरुद्ध अभियान छेडती है तो कभी मनावधिकार के नाम पर कभी ज्याधदती के नाम पर ये तथाकथित वुद्धिजीवी उस अभियान मे बाधा डालने आ जाते है। माओवादी आसानी से वार्ता करने को तैयार नही हुये है । जब उन्हेत लगा कि सुरक्षाबल उन्हेआ चारो तरफ से घेर लिये है और उनका बच निकलना मुश्किल है तब अपने बचाव के लिये वार्ता का ढोंग कर रहे है। अभी पिछले दिनों भारत सरकार के गृह सचिव कह रहे थें कि माओवादियों का 2050 तक पूरे भारत पर राज करने की योजना है। वे जितने भू भाग पर कब्जाै जमाये पडे है उतने भू भाग को मुक्ती कराने मे 5 से 6 वर्ष तक लग सकते है। क्याह वार्ता मे माओवादी कब्जाोयी गई सम्पूनर्ण भू भाग को छोडने के लिये तैयार है क्या वे सभी हथियार डालने के लिये तैयार है क्याे भारत सरकार की सत्ताि स्वीककार करने को तैयार है यदि उन्हेै ये सब शर्ते मन्जूार है तो वार्ता करने मे कोई हर्ज नही है लेकिन यदि वे केवल तात्का लिक राहत प्राप्तत करने के उददेश्यक से वार्ता का नाटक कर रहे है तो वार्ता करने का कोई औचित्य नही है। चिदम्बदरम जी पहली वार माओवादियों पर दवाव बनाने मे सफल हुये है इस दवाव को बनाये रखना होगा। प्राय पाया जाता है कि सुरक्षाबल अपने प्रयास से जब वे लाभकारी स्थिति मे आते है तब वार्ता का ढोग रचकर उनके प्रयास को विफल कर दिया जाता है। वैसे ही कई राज्य सरकारें और राजनीतिक पार्टियां अपने लाभ के लिये माओवादियों के विरुद्ध अभियान को भौथरा करने मे लगी हुई है उस समय कम से कम बुद्धिजीवियों से यह अपेक्षा नही की जाती है कि वे भी राष्टअहित से विलग होकर सरकार पर अनावश्येक दवाव बनायें। कृपया एकांगी सोच से बचे माओवादियों द्वारा मारे जाने वाले चाहे आम नागरिपक हो या सुरक्षा बलों के जवान वे भी भारत के नागरिक है और उनका भी मानवाधिकार है केवल अतिवादियों का मानवाधिकार नही होता है। जो अभियान चल रहा है चलने दें नही तो हमारा भी वही हस्र होगा जो नेपाल का हुआ है। —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.248.65.245 (talk) 13:14, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Feenixpawl

Hi Fabrictramp. You recently undeleted an article about Feenixpawl and a temporary biography was put up, however, it was immediately deleted due to the fact it didn't meet the criteria for a musician's bio. However it has now been amended and is completely factual and encyclopedic, and meets the criteria for a musicians article. I was wondering if it could please be moved from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Joshsoon/Feenixpawl to Feenixpawl.

Deletion Of AtomicGamer

Hi I was wondering if you could please undelete the AtomicGamer page. AtomicGamer is already referenced quite a bit on wikipedia as you can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/AtomicGamer

I was surprised to see the site deleted after following the model of an already existing entry. I would be more than happy to enter more information including the sites that AtomicGamer hosts some of which are quite well traveled. If you have any more advice on things I could do to improve the entry please let me know. Perhaps you could move it back to my Talk page until you think it is ready to go?

Notable Ice Hockey player?

Hi! I've noticed your name many times around dead end pages, where I am currently lurking too, so can I get a second opinion? Do you think James Glenwright Unger meets notability criteria? Not a hoax hockeydb.com but seems very marginal to me?? Article is written (apparently) by his self-proclaimed best friend, which somehow doesn't suggest real notability either.

Please respond here if you prefer.

Cje (talk) 20:13, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I know squat about hockey, so I have no clue if the teams listed are "fully professional", which would meet WP:ATHLETE, but WP:HOCKEY could help you determine that. HTH! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:41, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Bother - that makes two of us who know squat about Ice Hockey: I attended one San Jose Sharks game during 9 years in the USA! The problem is USHL (where he played 100 games) is amateur, whereas in the professional ECHL (equivalent to AA in Baseball, according to WP) the guy had a grand total of 7 games. I guess by the strict letter of the policy that means he is notable. OK decision - I'll edit out some of the non-hockey fluff and move on. Thanks for letting me think aloud. Cje (talk) 20:52, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
You've been to one more hockey game than I have. :) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:17, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) And avid hockey fan, I would say that the closest to "fully professional" the subject comes to is the ECHL, and I would not call that "fully professional" (although Fabrictramp knows my stance on minor league professional notability). While they may draw a salary, in my opinion, it isn't enough for Wikipedia notability. The ECHL is probably similar to being in the minors in baseball (as noted above), but if he is 24-25 and hasn't been drafted by a pro team in North America or Europe, it isn't likely he is going to move up. Also based on the "pro career" section, it doesn't look like he is a very good jr. player either. I would suggest nominating it for deletion. On a more personal note, Fabrictramp, since moving back to Canada, we can't find any decent GF bread (we used to get Ugis (sp), but they don't sell it in Canada)...if you have any good recipes or tips, I would appreciate it...Cheers. --kelapstick (talk) 13:27, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Glad to hear from you again, Kelapstick. Odd about the GF bread -- I had the impression Canada was a hotbed of celiac activism. As to recipes, I've had great luck with every one I've tried at http://gluten-freerecipes.blogspot.com/ . Can't personally vouch for her breads (she relies on eggs, which I can't have), but the photos are amazing and the reviews are good. Oh, and congrats on that Olympic hockey win, eh?--Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:08, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Well, there are some, but not so much where we are in Nova Scotia. Even Halifax doesn't have a whole lot. One of the major problems is the language laws that require all products sold in Canada to be labled in English and French, many US suppliers will not go to the expense just to reach a market about the size of California...One of my son's staples was peanut butter, but we had to switch him to almond because his cousin is severly alergic to peanuts (so she can't even contact toys he would have played with). We finally found one that he would eat (finiky eater), but we can't get it in Canada (yet). So we brought 20 jars back with us. We can get bread but it all has to be frozen, the one that we did have in the US was great, no freezing required and it tasted like wheat bread. Anyway now we are making our own (somewhat unsuccessfuly) with a mix we can get at the bulk food store...fun...Anyway, good talking with you, and thanks for the site. We may have won gold in the Olympics, but you guys took the World Cup of Hockey, so it is an even year. Cheers. --kelapstick (talk) 01:08, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

thanks for your comments, I remain a confused newbie, WP DLR twice already, nobody there...

Well I said it all in the title really.

THANK YOU for contacting me. Much appreciated, wow is this complicated?  !!

I have submitted the page twice for Deletion Review. I can see no sense in a third time.

I have send comments, I believe (does this talk work I am not sure?), to the people involved in the discussion and no reply except yours.


I am stopping this particular approach because of two topic/author related developments, and am informing you, as a courtesy, realising the people I need to talk to have shut up shop and gone home, but I trust the flow, all is well, big smile and move on...

1. I found the original author, and indeed this was a puppet entry on behalf of the man with central commercial interests, so that alters my energy about this, we need to start fresh perhaps.

2. The head of Human Design America contacted me to suggest I work with him on a new wikipage, well, we will see, but the structure is sound, a radical maverick, myself, and the established inner top dog, but step by step.

3. The lack of external references will continue, until someone like me risks prosecution and also inaccuracy, even ridicule, for publishing on Human Design without the blessing of the bloody pope. Shame on him.

4. Images are copyright, strings seemed to be attached to the original usage, but wikipedia cannot be involved if there are strings.

Probably the best way to understand the differences between Wikipedia:Deletion review and Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion (which has a shortcut of WP:REFUND, standing for REquests For UNDeletion) is to read the opening section of each page. In short, Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion is for simple requests, triage, and for requests for userfication (ie getting a copy moved to your userspace so you can make the required improvements); Wikipedia:Deletion review is for more complicated requests. And yes, it looks like you've now made a request at Wikipedia:Deletion review, so you're on the right track. --Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:13, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Semi-Protected

Hi there! I saw the protection log of Sarah Geronimo article and I see that you made the article protected last June 28, 2010. Since we all know that wikipedia has been target by UNKNOWN users and making UNCONSTRUCTIVE EDTS, can I ask you to make the Sarah Geronimo Semi-protected? Because I saw some article of Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, etc. that are semi-protected. I want the Sarah Geronimo article to become a Semi-protected too because it has been a target by various VANDALISM and users who keeeps putting HOAX info's there. I hope that you will make action soon. Thank you in advance!--White paladin888 (talk) 16:25, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

In general, semiprotection (or full protection) is not applied to articles unless there is recent heavy vandalism from multiple editors and no productive contributions from those same types of editors. Looking at the history, IP editors are only editing the article every two or three days, and as many are making productive edits as unproductive, so it wouldn't qualify for protection. I realize it can be a major pain fixing vandalism a couple of times a week (really -- BTDT), but that's the price we pay for an encyclopedia anyone can edit.
In the future, if there is a need for protection on the article, the fastest way is to make a request at WP:RFPP. (requests for page protection). Requests are generally taken care of in an hour or two at most. HTH --Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:18, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply! I will continue to watch this article and other articles too because honestly, I'm sick of those IP editors who keeps putting Hoax and other unconstructive edits here in wikipedia. Anyway, Thank you for your time :)--White paladin888 (talk) 02:33, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Top medical colleges of world

I have speedy deleted this article as vandalism/hoax because (1) the list was not only unsourced, but patently incorrect by any standard, (2) the 9th entry on the list was "MahroGhar Medical University", which translates into "My Home Medical University", (3) the article creator's recent edit at Banaras Hindu University was pure and obscene vandalism.

Speedy deletion nomination of Gerry Maguire

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Gerry Maguire requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. aineolach (u · d · c) 21:09, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Please Investigate Problems on BP (british Petroleum) Wikipedia Page: Intentionally Burying Section on Gulf of Mexico Oil Disaster, Changing Name of Oil Disaster to Hide it

Any attempts to correct this (following reasonable Wikipedia guidelines) are met with aggressive reverts and edits. Intentional spinning and manipulation of article in favor of BP? Can this task force investigate this?

Currently there is no easily recognizable section on the current Gulf of Mexico Oil Disaster, surprisingly since the US Government has held BP responsible. Instead the "Oil Disaster" Section in the article keeps being given obscure (hard to recognize) names (as if someone is trying to hide the section from the public).

That section also keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the article (attempts to bury it)?

It's as if the BP Public Relations department has staff people who are aggressively spinning the article. Could this Task Force investigate this?

Good afternoon

This is in response to my deletion of "Good Southern Girl" album. You suggested I reply to you for concerns since I work for her record label. I feel that all of the information was very matter of fact. It was simply a description of her new album...no reviews or anything, just facts.

The article wasn't deleted, it was simply redirected to the Amanda Shaw article, as per Wikipedia's standards for albums that haven't demonstrated that they meet WP:Notability. In order for an album to have an article of its own, it needs to have significant coverage in independent, reliable sources.

Hello In regards to Weekly Comic Book Review

Greetings Fabrictramp - I received an A7 deletion for the article. I would like you to consider letting me repost if I add why the blog is significant and important. I'm not sure exactly how it will be phrased, but something along the lines that "the blog is valuable to comic book readers because it provides current and upcoming comic reviews so that users don't have to waste their time and money on comics that receive low grades" and "It is also an important blog for comic book authors who get feedback from both the blog and its followers who can discuss comics like any other literary work." Let me know if you would allow the article to be posted or if you think it is still unimportant Bestbeast (talk) 23:32, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I've moved it to a subpage of your user page, and you'll find it at User:Bestbeast/Weekly Comic Book Review. That will give you more, but not unlimited, time to get it up to snuff.
Take a few minutes to read WP:N and WP:WEB to see what the article needs to show notability. When you think it's ready, post a request at WP:FEED for feedback. After you've done all the suggestions you receive there, check back with me and I'll let you know if it's ready to move back to main space. HTH. --Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:38, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for all the advice. I read the above notability sections, and received feedback about needing more references besides ones on Jason Montes and ones from Wikipedia. I worked hard and got more references that should satisfy criteria #1 of the web notability section. The content has been the subject in the references Comics Bulletin, InvincibleIronManVol3 and YoungLiars04. If you think that is not enough, I have found a few other sources but need more details on them. Bestbeast (talk) 20:44, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Man, WP:FEED usually gives a bit more detailed help than you got. I'm a bit pressed for time a.t.m. (crazy schedule IRL), but a couple of things jump out at me:
First, it's not a good idea to include Wikipedia articles in your references section. If you got the information from an Wikipedia article, go to the source that article used for the information, and reference that instead. If the article didn't have a source, find a reliable source and link it to both articles.
Also, I'd get rid of the contributors section. Unless the contributors are notable in their own right, that's information that better belongs on the WCBR website, not the Wikipedia article.
I'd also suggest finding a few more independent, reliable sources that show the review is notable. (Again, read WP:N and WP:WEB to see what's needed.) Adding more independent sources will help balance out the extensive use of the WCBR site as a source, and look a lot better for showing notability.

Corrections on Payne Erskine page

Hello, there have been some corrections since you put up the template that says the Payne Erskine article needs to have internal links added to it and to have it Wikified. I didn't want to remove it until I was sure that those issues were gone. I don't want to bother you, but I'm new to Wikipedia and my head's throbbing, so I'm just asking if you can take a look at it for other errors. I'd really like to make the article work, so please just advice for anything I need to do to get it up to quality standards. Daffodilla (talk) 19:06, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I've removed the wikify tag, but it's still an orphan article, meaning no other articles link in to it. (See Wikipedia:Orphan for more info.) HTH --Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:02, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
K, thanks. And, sorry for being a pain, but I just want to clarify this. Does the orphan tag mean that I have to create links to the article in other articles that mention it? Erm, if it does, I clicked "articles related to it" and there were only three results: the article itself, the Category : Articles that need to be wikified from May 2010, and User:AlexNewArtBot/CleanupSearchResult/archive42. All of which I'm sure I can't use. Daffodilla (talk) 19:23, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
The "articles related to it" shows places (articles and non-article pages) that already have links. What's needed is links from articles that don't already have links. Clear as mud?--Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:46, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

==IP Blocking

Re my notice at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:69.248.100.145 , what happens now? Does the next vandalism result in somebody notifying an admin, who takes things from there? kcylsnavS{screechharrass} 22:56, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Yes. The best way to notify an admin of subsequent vandalism is at WP:AIV. Cheers! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:57, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of a Page I Created as a Newbie and Subsequent Proposed Deletion of an Article About Me

First of all, I'd like to thank you for the assisstance you've already provided.

Secondly, since you're a Cubs fan, as I am, I apologize if I am bothering you during the Hawks game. I can't wait for the Cubs to DL Ramirez so we can see this 3Baseman Tracy.

But here's my question. I created an article Jesus Correa and did my level best to create a factual, well-designed article. It did get challenged early, then I improved it and the A7 was removed. Another editor tagged it with an A7 and I believe that was once again removed.

After that, the other article I had created The Leaders of Something Horrible and the article about me Thomas L. Vaultonburg were all deleted or proposed for deletion within a few minutes.

I've done my best to look up the history of the two or three "different" editors who made these deletions, and I find they have consistently been involved in disputes with other users, and have had their A7 tags removed on countless occasions by editors not at all involved in the pages.

I want to assert I don't know who these people are and I've never contacted them or edited their work. Have I done something to offend them? Is this appropriate Wikipedia behavior?

You suggested yourself I contact JzG but when I attempt to I find the user name is actually Guy and that Guy has a history of hasty deletions that have been overturned.

And that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:TheRealFennShysa who proposed the deletion of the article about me Thomas L. Vaultonburg ,which no one else in the Universe seemed to find any fault with until I dared to create an article myself, has a similar history of drama.

Is this the same person? My head is spinning from trying to get a crash course on the politics of Wikipedia.

I feel these editors have acted in bad faith. I honestly do.

I want to relaunch the Jesus Correa article eventually, and hope I can get some help. I will table the Leaders of Something Horrible article. And I can see no reason why the article about me should be deleted. That just seems malicious.

I do thank you for any advice you can offer. Go Cubs! Tvaulto (talk) 02:11, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I'm not going to be able to give you the in depth answer it appears you want, since my RL schedule is very hectic for the next several weeks. However, it looks like you're getting some good advice from Chzz already.
I really doubt any of these editors are acting in bad faith, although it may seem like it to you. Wikipedia gets a tremendous amount of new articles every day, and a significant number of them don't meet the notability requirements. Some editors get a bit trigger happy and forget that process is important, and that there's a real, live human on the other end of that keyboard. Conversely, many new editors forget that the subject they care passionately about may not be suitable for an encyclopedia. HTH a bit.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:31, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

AWB bug?

Hi, just to let you know that the {{importance}} template you added with AWB here and here is no longer an article maintenance template but is used for grading the importance of articles for wikiprojects on talkpages. I've changed it to {{notability}} where I've found it in the mainspace. Hope you don't mind, regards, ascidian | talk-to-me 13:01, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Ta! It's not an AWB bug, it's a user bug. (Or as we say at work, it's a hardware issue: the nut attached to the keyboard is faulty. <grin>) I didn't know the template had changed, so I copy/pasted it into AWB in error. I'll update my AWB user-defined stuff and my template cheat sheet.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:54, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

deletion

Dear Fabrictramp,

I created a page, Dr. Tariq Khan which has been deleted with a note that he is not important personality. I was not even finish with the article and It was deleted straightaway which is not a big moral boost for a new user. Can you help/comment please? Am i allowed to create that page again or can i retrieve that page?

Looks like you've recreated it and it's now at AfD.
If you decide to create a new account with an user name that complies with the rules, I'd suggest creating pages first at a subpage of your user page. That will give you much more time to get the article into a shape that shows it meets the requirements, including the notability and verifiability requirements.

Interrad Medical

I want to create a page about Interrad Medical, but I do not want to have it deleted due to copyright violations. What caused my previous page to be deleted? Was it using the company's logo, or a photo of their device from their website? thanks! pefozzy (talk) 20:22, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

The logo and photos didn't help, but the issue that lead to my deletion was copying from the company website verbatim. For example, you started the article with "Interrad Medical, Inc. is a medical device company headquartered in Plymouth, Minnesota. The company was founded by Dr. Michael Rosenberg, an interventional radiologist," which is directly from the company website. At the end of the article, you wrote "The SecurAcath™ Universal uses small anchor that deploys just under the skin to hold a catheter in place. ", which is directly from the products page. And the other three sentences in the article were close paraphrasing of other sentences on the company's site. HTH --Fabrictramp | talk to me 01:18, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of characters in Marvel Comics who can fly

The article List of characters in Marvel Comics who can fly has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This list is a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Neelix (talk) 20:29, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

I prefer to discuss Wikipedia issues here on Wikipedia, which also encourages transparency in discussions.
You misunderstand me. I've never edited the article. Material which is under consideration for oversight is seldom if ever discussed in detail on a talk page. Fred Talk 11:02, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
The problem is that such discussion has the effect of republishing the material which, if it does violate Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons will need to be itself oversighted, on additional pages. Fred Talk 11:27, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Apologies for assuming you were talking about your own edit, rather than the edit of another. (Always a problem when IP edits are involved.) And quite frankly, I don't see an issue with discussing here, in public, the need for sources. If the edits get oversighted, then the links here won't work, so deleting them from my talk page was completely unneeded. If the edits aren't removed, then there's no call to remove the links from my talk page.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 19:04, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
I also note that you removed my reversion from the article, but not the edits that originally introduced the problematic material, nor subsequent edits that include the same problematic material. Frankly, this whole thing has me scratching my head.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 19:08, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello Fabrictramp (interesting username!),
I noticed that this 2 line 'article' that you tagged "deadend, expand, notability and unreferenced uncategorized" on 5 June 2009 is till there! Funnily enough, it got 183,000 Google hits. Just FYI, regards, 220.101 talk\Contribs12:02, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Lots of articles are still in Wikipedia. At last count, about 3.3 million.
You might notice that I did not tag it for deletion, only that it needs improvement and that notability has not been shown. As to the number of google hits, take a look at WP:GHITS. If you can find some quality references among those thousands that show how the article meets WP:Notability, please add them.--Fabrictramp(public) (talk) 23:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
