I see you speedily deleted my article, Wikinvest due to so-called lack of notability. I have read the terms and can easily add links to fulfill this requirement, however I don't really want to have to write the whole article again. Is it possible to restore it so I can then just add in the references? Regards Suicup (talk) 03:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

A thankyou
Just a note to say thanks for fixing the infobox on Bournda National Park. It was working, then it wasn't working- I was going to take a stab at it again this morning and Voila! it was fixed. Also-happy to meet you-another Southerner. I grew up in Biloxi and the maternal family side are all from New Orleans. Mom would take me on that horse-drawn tourist ride in the old section, and she would do the "talk" to the point the driver just shut up and let her tell the histories. I swear the horse was even rolling his eyes! LOL Again Thankyou Cheers Marcia Wright (talk) 15:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Re: Pirates Quest Online Tips
Apologies for the cross edit, Nawlinwiki - I am not sure what happened, I went to Prod the article but when I opened it, it was still there, when I completed my edit, nothing to say it had been deleted and no edit conflict, it had already gone, and you got it again. I am gonna speak to tech since we should get an edit warning. :) regards, Thor Malmjursson (talk) 18:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Re-Directs
I would respectfully argue that the deletion of a number of re-directs, especially the speedy deletion of Not meat, is completely unnecessary. Deleting redirects adds nothing to Wikipedia, unless they are nonsensical or redirect incorrectly, neither of which was done by the Not meat redirect. I hope we can have a non-dismissive discussion about this issue. --MeatJustice (talk) 01:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know about "nonsensical", but it seems like a very unlikely search term for Vegetarianism. Take it up at Wikipedia:Deletion review if you wish. NawlinWiki (talk) 01:33, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- I actually had re-directed, and assumed, that the intention of searching for "not meat" was to find information about meat/criticisms, which is addressed by the Meat page, and not vegetarianism. Seeing as you are the administrator who deleted the re-direct, I thought I would discuss it with you before going through an unnecessary bureaucratic process that would prevent both of us from editing. --MeatJustice (talk) 01:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

No content in Category:Freedom City
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Freedom City, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Freedom City has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Freedom City, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Article Mathias tsopanoglou
Hi. Would you please take a look at the article Mathias tsopanoglou. I commented on the talk page that i didn't think the subject had sufficient notability, as a google search turned up nothing. my comments were deleted by the page creator. i dunno what the procedure for this sort of thing is. Thanks! Lithium81 (talk) 13:23, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Article generation rx
Hey, sorry to bother you again. Please could you look at the page generation rx. It was initially up for speedy deletion under CSD A1, but the tag was removed by the creator, and my user page was then vandalised by one of the other contributors. The article was then put up for deletion as the creator stated that it was OR, this message was also removed. Thanks for your help! Lithium81 (talk) 01:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
- Gonna leave that one at AFD (where I have voted to delete). Probably better for it to get a definitive community decision. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 04:28, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
I placed this on Barneca's page (but s/he seems to be on wikibreak right now), but I believe User:IHeartOscar (who was already blocked for 24 hours due to blatant incivility) is evading block by editing the article Generation rx (as well as removing the AFD template) through 71.232.77.79. I would think that an extension of his block is now warranted. MuZemike (talk) 08:28, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Users
I noticed you blocked user: XJIMINYx from editing. This user:Jangodarkblade5594 is doing the same thing, adding false info, but not so easy to discover, (in the article for ex. Pretzel, claiming that the Hungarian name for pretzel (perec) is twisted bread, which sounds logical, but in fact is not, it is simply a German loanword). Maybe someone should keep an eye on him, or block him as well.

Need action to prevent biased editing
Some users try to report biased ideas said by one person as facts, citing the same source in Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. The source they mention - lankaenews.com - is a biased, one-sided website and what those citations say is purely based on speculation and speeches from opposition politicians. Please take some action. Supermod (talk) 18:43, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

if you are so inclined, feel free to throw a temp editing block on 69.19.14.41. They've been warned a few times, and they just continue to add nonsense to various articles, only to have it removed again and again. Up to you, of course. SpikeJones (talk) 22:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

(Dr. Yahya (talk) 15:03, 15 November 2008 (UTC)) I wrote it on my page: hasan yahaya, when you sent a message invites me to try a new project. I am sure I saved it, I slept five minutes and returned back to it about 2 O'Clock am., I made a tiny change, save it and then close the computer. Is there any other page, it may be saved on. On the top, was my name. Crescentology was my new project. Do I have to rewrite it in order to be accepted as an article project? OR do I wait for a while before starting a new project article? Thank you for excellent and quick response. hasan yahya, Ph.D
He answered me with this message: I already replied below. And
it wasn't me who deleted it, it was NawlinWiki
. If you want details on the deletion you should ask him directly at User talk:NawlinWiki, since he's probably not watching this page. --AmaltheaTalk 15:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC) You can also ask him to move the page into your user space, where you can work on it, add referenced to reliable, third-party sources like I said below, and from where it can be moved back into article space once it passes WP:VERIFIABILITY. --AmaltheaTalk 15:08, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I had warned this user about not using Wikipedia for advertising, and now I think the user's name itself is a form of advertising. Do you think this person needs a separate warning or should even be blocked? Thank you. LovesMacs (talk) 23:51, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
You have deleted Of-Course, which in fact was about new, unseen before, blogging platform. As far as I am concerned, no one so far has created a blogging system, that gives URLs that read as complete sentences. Actually it should be included in List of blogs.

And I fail to see how it's an "implausible typo" (as if it's difficult to touch the u key, which is one keystroke away from the k). And the fact that I never vandalized any page in my history on Wikipedia. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:42, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Weymouth
Hello, recently the article for Weymouth (the town in the UK) was moved to Weymouth, Dorset to make way for a disambiguation page at Weymouth. This was done by User:Una Smith without any prior consensus or discussion as far as I'm know. Weymouth is a featured article with many other pages that are linked to it that will now redirect to the disambiguation page. I wasn't sure where to ask, but could this page move be undone? Thanks.

Hi
Just FYI, I mentioned you user talk page at WP:AN#Indefinitely semi-protected user talk pages since it's one of a great number of indef semi protected user talk pages. I'm explicitly not complaining or reporting, yours just happened to be one that I used as an example, since it's in principle against WP:SEMI.

Recreation of deleted page
I would like to bring to your attention that this page you deleted has been recreated. Author seams to be determined to prevent deletion of page, but by placing {{hangon}} before it has even been nominated for speedy deletion, and not by addressing concerns you had about the page. Could you please review it and handle the matter, I seriously doubt page has been improved much, and it will probably be deleted soon anyway. Thank you.--Melmann(talk) 07:46, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

U Card Advertising
Hey. Sorry to keep bothering you, but I think my page is beneficial to the Wiki Community. It is a stub on the University of Minnesota Page, and I was under the impression that it could be the campus card for the university and therefore a relevant topic. Also, I took out the parts that appeared to be advertising. Could you take a look at my user page to see if it meets Wiki's standards? Thanks. User: Linda Golden —Preceding undated comment was added at 18:43, 21 November 2008 (UTC).
The Void (Dungeons & Dragons)
Hello,
Could you please restore the edit history of The Void (Dungeons & Dragons) for me? If you like, you can redirect it to another article, and I'll just figure out where it should point to after I have a look at it. Thanks! :) BOZ (talk) 20:25, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! I had no idea that was such a useless little article. ;) I might tinker with it a bit, but I'll probably wind up moving it back and then turn it into a redirect. BOZ (talk) 20:58, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
U Card
I can understand your point that almost every college campus has an ID card, but not every campus has a "U Card." Other colleges have id cards, but they are named something else, like the Buck ID for the Ohio State University. I guess I'm a little confused, because every college has a student union, but Coffman Memorial Union is a stub off of the U of M page, so why can the U Card be a stub too??? There's not that much unique about a student union either, other than it's a part of the U, just as is the U Card. Also stubs of the U of M page that all other colleges have include: Alumni Center, Medical Center, Athletics (now there's a real unique to the U of M category), etc. FYI:The U Card Program was approved by the Regents of the University of Minnesota 1994 as the "Official University of Minnesota Photo ID Card." The U Card is specific to the University of Minnesota and it provides access to good and services only available at the University of Minnesota or services from the state of Minnesota by being a staff or faculty member at the University of Minnesota. Unlike other campus id cards, the U Card is a multi-authentication technology used with a home-grown software program designed by and maintained by the University of Minnesota OIT Department, that no other college campus has because it was designed right here at the U. Every other school, that we know of, uses either BlackBoard or CBoard to run their card production program. Over 400,000 U Cards have been produced since the inception of the program using this software and we card around 30,000 students, staff and faculty annually. Thank you so much for hearing our story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Linda Golden (talk • contribs) 20:52, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Deleting of The Bicyclist (Web Series)
I was just curious as to the specific reasoning that you deleted The Bicyclist (Web Series). I was putting it up as a TV show, just as Friends and The Office, yet you took it down before I could even add more information to it. The messaged stated this could have been advertising, but it wasn't, it was simply listing a show and it's information. How can I put it back up without it being taken down again? --EditorialJenna (talk) 22:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
re: "Friends" and "The Office" are TV shows produced by broadcast networks, and have been acknowledged as notable by reliable independent sources. Anyone can post films to the Internet and call them a "TV series", but that doesn't make them notable. Please see our guidelines at WP:WEB, WP:V, and WP:N. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:47, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
I provided you with two credible sources (before the article was taken down), TV Guide to which they had written about The Bicyclist, as well as The Oregonian, who also wrote several great things about the show. I understand that The Bicyclist is not produced by a broadcast network, but if you know anything about entertainment, Web series/Web TV is what entertainment is all about right now and it's what our future holds. I would like a second chance to put this show up. There are credible sources, so I do not see why it can't go up. The Bicyclist (web series) has also made a huge impact on Portland, OR. They have sponsored billboards called "sharing the road" for cars and bikes. You can also download The Bicyclist on iTunes. I've read the rules, and as long as the article itself is not biast or advertising, with the credibility it should be able to go up. The Bicyclist has also had over 400,000 viewers and the feature film, based off of the web series is up on IMDB. I will re-write the article as a non-bias article about the web series if you let me put it back up. Thank you for your time. --EditorialJenna (talk) 01:38, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Ken McKenna?
I'm not seeing why this page was passed over for deletion, even though it's an obvious advertisement and Adreamer323 is very likely Ken McKenna (attorney).

Wow. that was quick. I'd considered speedying it, but found that this person actually has a few articles about her elsewhere. I removed the speedy tag, but you got it in the intervening period.

Hi, Learned that some entry made earlier on Bharatmatrimony was deleted by you as it sounded like adv. Please find a new version of this company in my user space: user:Wisewhip/Bharatmatrimony. I believe that this is written purely for encyclopedic purpose and reads similar to the other company profiles such as Yahoo and google. As you have initiated the earlier deletion, i want you to comment, before making this wiki entry.
