J. T. Mahajan College of Engineering

Sorry, am I missing some fundamental change in the English language here? The {{unrerenced}} template specifically states "This article does not cite any references or sources." The template page states "Don't add this template to articles that contain even one general reference, parenthetical reference, or citation-containing footnote." Since this article now does cite a source, how is the template appropriate? Yet it has now been readded twice, the second time by you. If you are using the template to mean any source except the college's own webpage then you appear to be using it incorrectly. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:37, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

No, it would actually have been more constructive for you to have done it instead of ignoring my edit summary and simply reinstating an inappropriate tag. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:19, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

  • external links and primary sources dnt count as there still no reference techincally that page coul be afd for notabilty. no user is right no user is wrong. it a very fine line to say which is right or wrong in this case i probally say rhawirth is right but you aos have apoint. as i say its being used as external link so doesnt count as reerence. — Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 13:51, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

super speedy

Is the content in a speedy deleted page (Style of Eye) gone? I could develop it in a user subpage like the msg at the now empty page location says. but I didn't save what I put into the article. can I view the old content somewhere? thanks. skakEL 00:02, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

digo Style Of Eye, sorry. I guess I never had time to create that redirect. skakEL 15:09, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

More like foolhardy. I feel that the article is legit. if my creating it preceded the finding of the references by whomever, then I should not be surprised by the deletion, I guess, right? he almost seems cooler & more underground if he doesn't have an article on en:. anyway, content, like "life" in Jurassic Park, I think, finds a way.

Thanks for dropping the old content off in my sandbox. skakEL 15:43, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Martin Port

Hi there. I noticed that you have been involved in editing the Martin Port page before. I have been asked to edit the copy because of inaccuracies, but I have a conflict of interest with one of his former companies, so posted a question on the Talk:Martin Port page. Having done quite a lot of background research to try and find references to clean it up, it transpires that there's a lot of claims made that are difficult to back up and it's also quite self-promotional. I'm wondering if it should have a speed deletion tag instead? Please advise.Theredrocket (talk) 14.16, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

  • I don't think I have ever been involved but now you my bring it to my attention … The article has survived nearly two years so, in my view, speedy is inappropriate. But it certainly deserves an hearty {{prod}} or, if you think that might get removed, take it straight to AfD where I will support deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:11, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I wasn't aware of {{prod}} - forgive me, I'm far from being a Wikipedia expert - so will look at your suggestions and go for one of those. Theredrocket (talk) 11.20, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Phaidra

Speedy deletion declined: Creating Phaidra (digital repository). Hello RHaworth, could you please give me more details why do you think Phaidra (digital repository) is an article about an eligible subject. In my opinion it has the same relevance as Islandora. Regards Raman2012 —Preceding undated comment added 14:21, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Train Collectors Association

Yesterday I updated the Wikipedia page for Train Collectors Association. I apparently did not provide credit appropriately or was too wordy. Please explain what must be done in order to re-post. Thank you. Carol R. McGinnis, TCA National President, Education Specialist, Wikipedia Contributor — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carol.McGinnis (talk • contribs) 23:54, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Interesting phenomenon which I we see occasionally: an article has survived for some time then someone with a COI comes along, turns it into a piece of spam and it gets deleted. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks the association is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:01, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

No purpose

Hello sir! Actually what happened was At the begining i am an new user in Wikipedia and i don't know that File Talk pages shouldn't be created without a proper reason and if those were created it was only with such as discussing about the Files we have upoladed and Unknownly i have created those all pages with Explicit means unnecessary (or) waste matter. Being an experienced editor now in Wiki, I felt that those File Talk pages were filled with Explicit matter. By this reason i have requested for CSD. Hoping that you will delete all. Thanking you in advance sir. Have a nice day sir. Raghusri (talk) Raghusri 10:03, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for all those deletions sir. Have a nice day sir. Raghusri (talk) Raghusri 10:19, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Open Food Facts

Open Food Facts speedy deleted: getting a copy? Following a discussion with Cindy (see User_talk:Cindamuse for details), she recommended to contact you to get a copy of the Open Food Facts article, which was speed deleted recently. I will try my best to rewrite the article to meet the Wikipedia's guidelines, working first in my user space to avoid repeating the same mistake. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. Best regards, DavidBourguignon (talk) 14:05, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Text e-mailed. Saw your note to Cindamuse. Some other language wikis do have an approval process for mainspace edits. There seems to be no need for it on the English Wikipedia, probably because this wiki is so ferociously policed. For example fr:Open Food Facts has survived for three days. The English version with the same lack of reliable sources was zapped within the hour! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:35, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Dear Roger, thanks for the quick feedback. I received your email and created a page in my personal space on User:DavidBourguignon/Open_Food_Facts, following Cindy's recommandations. My comment about the Wikipedia policy is grounded on psychological & emotional facts rather than organisational concerns. I agree with you: the current process is very effective for "policing" the English version of Wikipedia, but what about the effect on the poor contributor's mind & morale? Seeing its painfully crafted article, achieved without any WYSIWYG help, "speedy deleted" within an hour, is no fun, really. Therefore, I do think that having an explicit "pending procedure" where articles would remain in user space before approval would relieve most of the stress from the Wikipedia community. (This point was on the list of questions in the recent contributor's questionnaire if I remember correctly). What do you think? I would be very glad to know also the opinion of Cindy and other members of the Wikipedia editorial team on this. In any case, thanks to you all for your help! Best regards, DavidBourguignon (talk) 09:28, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

A "pending procedure" of the type you suggest, exists at WP:AFC. As an additional note, Wikipedia does not have an "editorial team". --Demiurge1000 (talk) 14:45, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
  • I think the banner on the new article creation page, covers matters adequately. It points people to the new article wizard - which lands up with an AfC option and it gives a warning that inadequately referenced articles may be deleted. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:17, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks Demiurge and Roger for the info. But frankly, this is the first time I see the WP:AFC page and I have been creating/editing Wikipedia articles for more than five years. I think their is room for improvement in this area, in my humble opinion. As I said before, an obvious idea would be to consider that articles are stored in user space unless considered valid by an editor. This would avoid many misunderstandings on the contributor's side. Of course, this would also force people into creating an account before working on articles, but I personally see this as a good thing, because it tests their true motivation. Best regards, DavidBourguignon (talk) 11:03, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Jeff Curro1

That redirect didn't seem like an attack - more like a naive move preparatory to expanding Jeff Curro, which is why I gave the reason "improbable typo." Am I missing something? -Lexein (talk) 20:00, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Ah, that's okay. I fixed it in the list now. --Lexein (talk) 06:42, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Deletion of Tiruparankundram dargah.jpg

hi, What sort of copyright violation this File:Tiruparankundram dargah.jpg had? As a contributor, why I was not given a notice before deletion? Wasif (talk) 13:45, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Another way. You have slightly screwed things up by releasing the image into the public domain but you could contact ervadi.com and ask them very sweetly if they are willing to admit that the image came from here and whether they are willing to acknowledge your authorship on the page that uses it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:46, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

OK will mail ervadi.com and get back. Wasif (talk) 09:37, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Got reply from ervadi.com saying "No where in our website we have claimed copyright for the images or the contents. It clearly means that nothing is of our own." I checked their site, no where in their site they have given a copyright symbol or message. i am damn sure i took in my camera and uploaded. They have took from WP and legally they havenot claimed any copyright. Kindly revert the file.Wasif (talk) 09:45, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Deletion of Ashford 4XI Hockey

Can you explain how the article did not explain the significance of the organisation, and how it can be amended in the future to make it viable for wikipedia.org — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.12.223.145 (talk) 15:27, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Ashford Hockey Club might be notable enough by Wikipedia's standards for an article. Read WP:42 carefully and consider whether you can find what it requires. You seem to have been trying to make an article about the 4th XI of that hockey club - which I am quite sure is not notable by Wikipedia's standards, in and of itself. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:12, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Keeping the Kibbutz - deletion

Earlier today you deleted my Keeping the Kibbutz article before I had an opportunity to fully respond to the copyright issues raised. Because I am new to Wikipedia and would rather not have to start from scratch all over again, is it possible to restore the deleted article so that I can revise and/or delete the offending material? — ColdNorthWind2 (talk) 21:30, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Actually I never even noticed that the deletion reason was copyvio. What I noticed was a lack of independent references - blogspot is not generally reckoned a reliable source and in any case your link to it was broken. I have e-mailed you the text. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:55, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

I hope the additions & changes I've made to the article address your earlier concerns about "lack of notability." I've taken the liberty of removing your tag. Your remark about blogspot.com being not "generally reckoned [to be] a reliable source" is noted, except in this instance I think the blogger's remarks are thoughtful and comparative in nature, and therefore worthy of note. - ColdNorthWind2 (talk) 19:00, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

For All the Tea in China proposed deletion

Dear Mr. Haworth, For All the Tea in China is a work in progress and I have three more groups of undergraduate freshmen working this coming week on improving and expanding the page. Hopefully, their work will be sufficient to address the question of notability, for which the article is proposed for deletion currently. I ask that the page remain in place for the duration of the coming week. In other words, I am asking for a stay of execution in order that by week's end the page may be reassessed for acceptability.

Thank you for your consideration. Renee Bricker — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rbricker (talk • contribs) 15:40, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Malala Yousafzai

You deleted Conspiracy theories about attack on Malala; the log reads:

Malala Yousafzai#Public reaction is not an article, it is an discussed in only one paragraph is an article sub-section, isn't A10 inappropriate? Or have I missed something? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 02:39, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) The speed-ied article duplicated a topic, ie: the section in Malala Yousafzai. OrangesRyellow is on a mission here, as has already been noted at WP:ANI. - Sitush (talk) 02:59, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Isn't it common to have sections being expanded to a full article. Secondly there is just one paragraph about "conspiracy theory" in the article section. This clearly isn't a case of A10. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 16:35, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

I saw it and was going to remove the speedy deletion tag as I thought that A10 was inappropriate. The deletion happened faster than I could act. Mighty oaks from little arcons grow. The length of the article when it is born isn't reason for its deletion as far as I understand. They are called stubs then. Would it be all right if I paste the former article on its creater's page and then request him to put it in his sand box, so that it could be developed, a review done and then the article recreated? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 02:11, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Hi RHaworth. Thanks for emailing a copy of the deleted article to Yogesh Khandke. He had userified it for me and I have been adding some material and refs to the draft. I was wondering if it might be possible for you to have a look and see if it seems to be going in the right direction?OrangesRyellow (talk) 14:45, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
  • I have asked for opinions on the Malala article talk page. At least one ed has said that the material can be added into a new sub-section and that there is no need for a new article. I plan to go along with that. Thanks for your suggestions and for pointing out the broken link. :-)OrangesRyellow (talk) 03:30, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Nikon f mount

Hi, I saw that you removed my speedy delete request for Nikon f mount, stating that it was heavily used. Are you sure about this? I mean, we still have Nikon F mount (and many others), and they should stay, of course. Assuming Nikon f mount would be deleted, typing "Nikon f mount" in the search box would be catched by Nikon F mount instead, which I find more desirable since the redirect message would read "Redirected from Nikon F mount" rather than "Redirected from Nikon f mount" then. Cheers, --Matthiaspaul (talk) 20:41, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

;-) Yes, this number is astonishingly high. However, the question remains, if these hits are actually down to external sites referring to the article under "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon f mount" or just people typing in "Nikon f mount" in the search box. In the first case, this would strongly indicate that the redirect should not be deleted, in the second case, the remaining redirect Nikon F mount would catch all these requests once Nikon f mount is gone, so nothing would be broken by deleting it. Can you retrieve a search box statistic as well? Thanks and greetings, --Matthiaspaul (talk) 22:50, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

I have no idea, either, but in the unlikely event that I stumble upon them, I'll let you know. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 23:20, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

EPOS

Saw you PRODded Embedded Parallel Operating System; since then, I've endorsed the PROD, the creator's contested it, and I've nominated it for AfD. Point is, the page notes that this software or whatever it is was developed by a company called LISHA, and the creator's name is Manager lisha. And in this comment (re a previous article [successfully] tagged for speedy deletion), they seemed to acknowledge involvement with the company. I know administrators tend to be pretty harsh on COI usernames, so I thought you might want to take a look. — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 14:20, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Maybe you know how to handle this

I come to you as an admin who has had past dealings with this issue. Rbricker (talk · contribs) appears to be teaching a class of university freshmen in how to use (or, from my experience of their edits - abuse) Wikipedia. Specifically, he has his class furiously working away on Coffee: A Dark History, The Big Necessity and Edwin Chadwick. Their edits generally break the page syntax leaving large red warnings on the page, and add generally poorly cited "facts" to the articles. I have found myself spending the better part of my day chasing them all with a mop and bucket. If it were just a couple of users, I might try a more direct approach with them, but there appear to be several dozen editors involved in this process. Is there any way to put a temporary hold on these activities until the instructor can bring his class in line? WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:47, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

    • RHaworth deleted your page (upon Mediran's nomination) because you posted it in the mainspace instead of your userspace. If you would like to post a page in your userspace, you have to do it as a subpage of User:Bacon-Cheddar Man 5000 or, in some cases, your talk page (User talk:Bacon-Cheddar Man 5000). For instructions on creating a subpage, please see Help:Subpages. More importantly, as a general rule of thumb on Wikipedia, if you have to start by saying "I'm not trying to be rude," you just shouldn't say it. Your comments are rude and uncivil, and while RHaworth has, in his own words, "a well-justified reputation for blunt speaking on talk pages," and may therefore cut you a bit more slack than most editors or administrators (though I shan't speak for him), talking like that repeatedly can land you with a block. (Also, if you want a faster reply to a question you've asked at your own talk page, you can just post this template at theirs.) — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 03:32, 17 November 2012 (UTC) Updated to reflect the following correction: I idiotically just looked an inch up on the screen to see what name to use for the "your user page"/"your talk page" links, and used User:Jason West Jones's since he's the most recent contributor.... sorry Jason! — 04:27, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Reverted move on article Israfel

Hi, User:RHaworth I have seen your reverted move on article Israfil (Archangel in Islam) to Israfel as the proper spelling is Israfil according to sources like britannica and the books linkes Angels A to Z etc. So i believe the name of the article would be with the spelling as it was created with the spelling and later moved to Israfel. Secondly, the redirect link is not used in a useful fashion as here i myself has corrected the link and feels that there is no need for this redirect. Please justify you reason to revert the move back to its namespace. Wating to hear from you. -- Ibrahim ebi (talk) 08:09, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

  • You are mis-using the word namespace. A "namespace" is all pages with a specific prefix, eg. Wikipedia: or user_talk: . A crude Google search suggests that Israfil is the more common spelling however Special:WhatLinksHere/Israfel indicates an overwhelming preference in Wikipedia for the spelling Israfel. If you really feel the page should be moved, start by changing the incoming links. Changing a few templates such as {{eschatology}} may have a significant effect. I assume you are happy with a title of either Israfil or Israfel. I see absolutely no justification for anything else such as "(archangel)" in the title. But of course Israfil (archangel) and all the other redirects can remain in place. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:45, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Actually the thing is that i am working on the category Category:Angels in Islam and in the near future i want the names of the archangles in islam with the same suffex such as (Archangle in Islam) because the namespace are already been occupied such as Gabriel, Azrael, Michael (archangel) depecting the views of the angels in Islam. Meanwhile you are right that i should first work with the incoming links and once they are set can take your help in moving the page.

And as far as the speedy deletion of the redirect is concerned i personelly dont like them as they increase the watchlist and it gets difficult to mentain an eye on pages.I believe the search engines is strong and can give suggestion therefore the redirect should be deleted.

As said its ok for now but in the near future i would definately need your help in moving the page. Thanks for helping me out. -- Ibrahim ebi (talk) 14:30, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

On Similar note if the namespace is changed back to Israfil (Archangle in Islam) it would be easirer for me to work with the incoming link. -- Ibrahim ebi (talk) 14:44, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Did you actually read my message above? You are mis-using the word namespace. I think when you say namespace, you actually simply mean "title". Are you trying to tell me that you propose to create separate articles for these angels as they are seen by Islam? That is fine. But that is absolutely no reason for putting (archangel in Islam) in the title. (And certainly not for placing a capital A on archangel or a spelling of "archangle"!) For example, I would place the Muslim version of Gabriel on the title of Jibril. How on earth could a title of Israfil (archangel in Islam) be easier to work with than a simple Israfel. I repeat Israfel is the obvious preferred title at the moment. It you swing the weight of incoming links, I would be willing to move the article to Israfil. If you want any title with a totally unnecessary suffix in it, then I would want to see consensus in talk:Israfel before doing a move. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:02, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Yes, i am working to create separate articles for these angels as they are seen by Islam, and is happy that you have pointed a way out to me. The weight has been transfered to Israfil as here so i would be glad if you move the article Israfel to Israfil. Thanks in advance and hope to see the article in the new namespace with the correct and most common spelling.-- Ibrahim ebi (talk) 19:10, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

  • How many times do I have to tell you that you are misusing the word "namespace"? If you confirm that you understand the meaning of the word "namespace" and repeat your request without using that word, then I will do it instantly. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:43, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Ooh now i got it actually i am new to wikipedia that's why there might be a light misunderstanding regarding the techanical terms. But now i got it."Would you move the title Israfel to Israfil"? and thanks once again for correcting me. -- Ibrahim ebi (talk) 07:37, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Woongarrah

Your deletion of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Woongarrah Wildcats Football Club. I marked this Article for Creation for deletion because of a copyright violation, but you deleted it because of unambiguous advertising or promotion (G11). Is there a reason why you did this? Do you think I marked it incorrectly as a copyvio? (that is really what I am curious about) The Anonymouse (talk • contribs) 21:28, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

  • No special reason. I was looking at an earlier version, so I was not offered an automatic deletion reason. It was written in such nauseatingly spammy language, I went for that. (In any case it was probably posted by the copyright holders so they could have given permission - not that it would have served any purpose!) — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:02, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

The user name suggests it could have been someone that owned the copyright, but we don't know for sure.

The only problem is that, unlike the article namespace, advertising-like content is permitted in AfC under the condition that it is changed before being moved into the article namespace. I normally would ask if you could restore it, but I am worried about it being a copyvio. What do you recommend? The Anonymouse (talk • contribs) 22:16, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

That's true, but keep in mind that AfC allows (but doesn't accept, of course) quite a bit of content that you wouldn't see in the article namespace (advertising, non-notable stuff, essays, etc.).

Hello, I noticed you deleted the TotalBiscuit article in the past. Could you please recreate it and redirect it to John Bain (game commentator)? He's the only person using the TotalBiscuit alias and he's mainly known by it, so if someone were to search for him, they'd usually type "TotalBiscuit". While it's not necessary since John Bain's article is the top suggestion after typing "TotalBiscuit", it would be more comfortable for a person looking for more information on him. — Changyu27 (talk) 10:22, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

This account was created for a University project which required us (a group of people) to make a legitimate Wikipedia article about a notable subject. Yes, the user page redirect was an inside joke of the group, but the article is serious and we're trying to expand it as much as we can. Thank you for the redirect. — Changyu27 (talk) 11:21, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Everyone contributes in a shared Google Document. One person with all the details submits the work of all the people and fixes any mistakes which become apparent when submitting the article. So no, the account itself is not shared. — Changyu27 (talk) 11:35, 20 November 2012

Can you please delete the page Abiah Jones today. — Starship9000 (talk), 1:10, 21 November 2012

Seems that Jason's tired himself out, but since we've already ascertained that he can be quite stubborn, I thought this might come in handy at some point in the future. Enjoy! — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 11:04, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Hold off a sec

I'll just register it a legit alternate account. — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 18:07, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Ugh. Tripped the account creation filter. Will you at least restore them all for me once I get it cleared? — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 18:11, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Hey Roger, I responded to you at the link above. No you were not the other editor I spoke of in my comment. Thanks for your help with this. Clearly I need sleep. (It's 3am here.) Hope all is well on your side of the pond. Have a great weekend! Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 11:02, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Matthew Pratt

I would like to resubmit my article on Matthew Pratt (which you moved/deleted). I have rewritten, added and subtracted information. How do I resubmit it? Please advise. — User:Mejkravitz (talk)

  • I have possibly be spending too much time on the negative side of Wikipedia; I cannot remember the last time I launched anything significant into the (article) namespace. Now at Matthew Pratt. Please note: a) three sentences to be re-written because the duplication detector threw them up as copyvios; b) whilst Rebecca Claypoole is acceptable as a red link, Colonial Era is not. Find out what Wikipedia calls this period in American history and alter the link accordingly. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:31, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy of Michael Wolfe (filmmaker)

That was super fast! I was contesting the CSD when it got nuked. Can you restore it? The G12 claim was exaggerated at best; the material was a single paragraph of the IMDb bio, which I reworded before deletion. I'm not 100% sure it meets WP:GNG but I don't think a speedy was warranted. Thanks §FreeRangeFrog 23:55, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed the name obviously but I thought the article was well-sourced, regardless of COI. Anyway, I'll let the creator know. Thanks. §FreeRangeFrog 00:19, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Michael Wolfe (filmmaker)

Dear RHaworth,

You deleted the page I created on Michael Wolfe (filmmaker) due to copyright infringement of the picture (previously used on imdb.com) and content referenced to imdb.com (which I now learned is not allowed...)

Thank you for bringing all that to my attention! I changed the picture to one that I took of him, and that hasn't been published anywhere else online. I also erased all the information that was solely referenced by imdb.com.

Is there anything else I have to do in order to put this article back online? Please advice, and I will do everything in my power to do so. :-). Right now it's in my sandbox at User:Dmys management/sandbox.

Please let me know, and thank you for your time and help! — Dmys management (talk) 04:08, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Dear RHaworth. I don't understand why you say "come clean". I never pretended to be a corporation, and I never said or stated anywhere that I wasn't an individual, or that I didn't have connections to Michael Wolfe. I'm sorry for the confusion of the name, and yes it might look like I am some kind of management. But truth is that my family jokingly calls me "Dmys management" since my name is Darcy, and I "manage" my spouse and two kids ("m" and "y" and "s"):-) If you google the name you see that there is no company called Dmys management out there. So I have nothing to do with any professional management company. And if you want me to change my name, I will gladly do so! And yes, I do know Michael Wolfe. We move in the same extended circles, and I have met him a few times. But I don't do this on his behalf, or because he pays me. I've been following his career and thought he had accomplished enough to be on Wikipedia. And since I've spent some time recuperating from a surgery, I found some time and started an article. And yes, I'm new at this, and I'm still learning. But I'm trying hard, reading all the articles pertaining to writing new articles, trying to be as neutral as I can, especially when I know the person I write about, and referencing as much and as well as I can. I hopefully will get better with time. And I thank you for your help. Dmys management (talk) 16:26, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Which of the many external links actually is an independent, in depth article about the guy himself? Providing you actually have a couple of such links then, I suggest you slap {{subst:AFC submission/submit}} on the top of your draft and await developments. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:02, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

I will do that, thank you. I will also created a new account with a better username, since you and other admin people suggested it was a bad one, and I agree. Again, thank you for your time.Dmys management (talk) 16:02, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

What took you so long to delete Inter Iles Air Flight 170 after I CSD it. I mean not 90 seconds must have passed. Here's some coffee so you can move faster next time. ;) ...William 13:56, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

UFC Talk page you speedied

Just wanted to bring to your attention that Talk:UFC 155: Dos Santos vs. Velasquez II which you speedied earlier today has once again been created. I have asked for speedy deletion again on the same grounds and have filed a RFPP petition asking for creation protection untill at least December 30th. Hasteur (talk) 17:34, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Deletion

According to you they don't need deletion. O.K. then leave. Little bit confused about that Namespaces info. Now i have understood the matter. Thank you. Problem solved. Deletion is unnecessary because it is harmless. You are right. Discussion was over and don't post any message regarding this matter to the Namespace section in my talk page. Thank you.

Deletion of Context Relevant page

Hi, I see you deleted the page Context Relevant. Someone else had marked it CSD A7 (see their note on my talk page), and I followed up by contesting the deletion and noting that the page is new, and marked it as a company stub pending additional page content. Given this, why was it deleted without further followup? In any case, could you email me the deleted page text? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ttocsredlog (talk • contribs) 18:47, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

elementary OS

Hi there, hope all is well. I would like to create a new article at Elementary OS. I have created a sample/starting point that I believe to be both neutral and verifiable at User:Kennethsime/sandbox. Please see Talk:Elementary OS for more information and to continue this conversation. I am contacting you here because you were the last deleting administrator and I seem to be unable to create the page myself. Kennethsime (talk) 21:10, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
