A barnstar for you!

The Writer's Barnstar
Dear Oscar, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, especially your recent creation of Los Caobos Park. Keep up the good work! You are making a difference here! With regards, AnupamTalk 02:07, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
Many thanks Anupam, --Oscar (talk) 15:34, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

thanks for fixing

Thanks for fixing Ivan Simonovis. As reviewing admin, I removed the BLP Prod tag, but this is one of the things you can safely do yourself. Any time you add even one reasonably reliable source related to verifiability to a BLP PROD, it's best to remove the tag right away to prevent erroneous deletions--and you can also yourself remove an ordinary Prod tag in any case where you improve it & think it should not be deleted. Your good work in patrolling is much appreciated. DGG ( talk ) 21:26, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice DGG, I'II take it into account from now on. --Oscar (talk) 01:32, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Ali Lenin Aguilera

He's a member of national Chamber of Deputies, therefore notable by WP:Politician. Please read the relevant notability requirements before reviewing articles.— Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talkcontribs)

Not trying to start a catfighting here, but I'm been sysop in the Spanish Wikipedia for over nine years, (also, I'm countryman of the "chamber member" with not a single independent source that helps clarify his relevance). Think I know two or three things about reviewing articles, Cheers, --Oscar (talk) 17:39, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Antonio Ladislao Alcantara

Hello Oscar .. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Antonio Ladislao Alcantara, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Throughout his long career, he received multiple awards and recognitions both in Venezuela and internationally. is an assertion of importance. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 12:24, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi WereSpielChequers. The quality of the article is really dreadful, is there something else I can do? I mean, it's probably better start from scratch. Cheers --Oscar (talk) 17:53, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Altered speedy deletion rationale: User:Oscar ./sandbox

Hello Oscar ., and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I deleted User:Oscar ./sandbox, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided. The speedy deletion criteria are extremely narrow and specific, and the process is more effective if the correct criterion is used. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:09, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Vigo Industries, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. – Train2104 (t • c) 22:14, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

@Train2104: I didn't have the chance to have a said in this and now is deleted. What makes you think it was promotional? Just to know if this worth the trouble to improve. --Oscar_. (talk) 12:08, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
@Deb: as the deleting admin, as I can no longer see the page. – Train2104 (t • c) 14:59, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
@Train2104: @Deb: Well, it would be helpful that the user that tagged for deletion the article remembered exactly why it was tagged in the first place. My primal concern is that it was a requested article with a number of references, if the tone was promocional, why not addressed why another tag or a comment in the discussion page? --Oscar_. (talk) 17:57, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Here are some offending paragraphs. If the creator had added "Best buys", it couldn't have been much more promotional.

Currently, VIGO specializes in frameless shower doors that feature a built-in adjustability. This allows the doors to remain level over time, regardless of any settling in the walls of the home. Other popular products include their line of vessel sinks, along with kitchen sinks which come in both stainless steel and VIGO’s proprietary “Matte Stone” (an acrylic amalgam) solid surface.

All of VIGO’s kitchen and bathroom faucets feature German-engineered Sedal ceramic disc cartridges, tested for up to 500,000 uses.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://starcraftcustombuilders.com/sources.faucets.Vigo.htm#.WfjRQogpA2w/VIGO|title=Vigo Faucets: In-depth Independent Review|website=starcraftcustombuilders.com|language=en-us|access-date=2017-11-03}}</ref>

VIGO products meet all US environmental certification requirements. All faucets and shower panels are California Energy Commission certified.

I think you should be able to see what is wrong with this. Deb (talk) 18:50, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

@Deb: Alright, now that's better, and I can see your point. It's possible to recover the info to work it in my sandbox or in another subpage? Thanks in advance. --Oscar_. (talk) 20:02, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
@Deb: Just a reminder, I'm still looking to work on these. --Oscar_. (talk) 12:44, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
Oops, sorry, I got the wrong Oscar and replied here. I'll move it. Deb (talk) 12:48, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
It's now here. Deb (talk) 12:50, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Deb: If you have a chance, please take a look and let me know what you think. Oscar_. (talk) 13:01, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewing

Hello, Oscar ..

I've seen you editing recently and you seem like an experienced Wikipedia editor.
Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks.

PROD

You can't reinstate a PROD after it's been removed. Take it to AfD if you want. But there's still no reason for the word allegedly to be there, so don't restore that regardless. Smartyllama (talk) 14:45, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
