Vandalism in Koshal State Movement
Section blanking is done by IP address 125.16.27.82 on 8th September. Please do the needful to restore the article. See Koshal State Movement. I have undone the text. (Skarmee (talk) 08:33, 11 September 2010 (UTC))
- Please learn to copy&paste - you gave two variant versions of the title above - both wrong! (Actually Koshal state movement would probably be a better title.) What is "the needful" that you want me to do? You can correct, and have corrected, these edits yourself. I cannot even offer you a block because policy says that IP addresses should, in general, only be blocked briefly. You just have to be patient and keep reverting such edits. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:45, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Deletion of Bahrain Vision 2030
Hi. I just noticed that the Bahrain Vision 2030 page has been listed for deletion. What should I do to make this article better? I am citing sources and all & am not intending to advertise about anything. All I'm doing is portraying the Bahrain Economic Strategy 2030 to the people. Emadhn15 (talk) 06:27, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
- Do links to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources suggest anything? Why did you pretend to be the sign bot? Please sign properly with ~~~~. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:57, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Isn't this United Nations report a reliable source? ~~ Emadhn15 (talk) 06:32, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of HORIBA Medical Wiki
Hi. I just noticed that the HORIBA Medical page has been deleted. What should I do to convince you to publish it again? All I did was relaying the history of the former company, ABX, and its evolution. Is this about the products logos? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolas.Hernandez (talk • contribs) 08:06, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I read your previous comments on deletion. I get it. How can I access the deleted page to make my modifications? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolas.Hernandez (talk • contribs) 08:49, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
- I was ill-disposed to the article even before I opened it because you were SHOUTING the company name. Feel free to create a new draft in User:Nicolas.Hernandez/Horiba and tell me when it is done. Points to action: much shorter; no <br />s; links to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources; no people listed; just list the countries they operate in not the towns; no product catalogue (hence none of those logos - the company logo itself is fine), inter-wiki link to the fr: article and, of course, no SHOUTING. I have e-mailed you a copy of the text. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:00, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Transistor Sound & Lighting Co.
Curious as to deletion of Transistor Sound & Lighting Co.. How is importance or significance guidline not met? NotionsUnlimited (talk) 19:59, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- I deleted it because it was totally devoid of refs to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. However, as was pointed out to me at the bottom of this thread, there is a subtle difference between importance and notability. I have restored the article but for goodness sake, provide some references pdq. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 05:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Thank you. I will try to track down stable web sources and add. NotionsUnlimited (talk) 16:21, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Regarding your recent revert of vandalism
Hi. regarding your revert here of an SPA account Asik5678, could you also take a look at these edits of his? They seem to be grossly POV, delete existing references, and contradict this section of the article, which is actually sourced. Thanks.117.194.200.171 (talk) 23:03, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Please always log in before editing. The edit I did was something I just happened to notice as I was sorting out a different bit of nonsense by Asik5678. Sorry, I do not have the knowledge to do a general review. I will leave it to you but if you think a block is justified, please let me know. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 05:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Content Guru
Hello, I'm sorry you have seen fit to delete this. Can you explain why this article has been deleted on the grounds of unambiguous advertising when, for example, Outsourcery has not? Thanks. -- Scoguru001 (talk) 12:03, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- How many links to independant sources does Outsourcery have? How many did your article have? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:49, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure that independent sources are sufficient to overcome the idea of unambiguous advertising. Note, for example, the statement at the beginning of the Outsourcery piece: "...the UK's leading provider of mobile-centric unified communications (Unified Communications) and hosted IT solutions (software as a service) for business". Where is the independent confirmation of this claim? Also: "...the company went through a dramatic organisational and cultural transformation from a ‘fly-by-night’ business mobile provider to the UK's leading provider of advanced communications and hosted IT solutions." This language seems somewhat subjective for the august pages of Wikipedia. And their logo is little more than an advertisement in itself. I do not begrudge the untempered presence of Outsourcery - or countless others who seem to me to be using Wikipedia as a promotional medium, notable or not - but I wonder why we have been singled out for exclusion, when they are not? Consistency is all I ask. Scoguru001 (talk) 14:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
- You have not been singled out. Dozens of self-promoting articles are deleted every day. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:53, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Ok, then why not the Outsourcery example quoted? While I accept that everything is subjective, it seems to me that this content (and much other content across the site) falls short of the spirit and the letter of the principles in many ways. It would clearly be helpful if you could be more specific in what you mean by "unambiguous advertising", and why the Outsourcery example complies with the guidelines and Content Guru does not. Thanks. – ScoContentGuru (talk) 09:53, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- It doesn't mean you are singled out, it means that Wikipedia is a big place that is not perfect. With thousands of articles submitted daily, certainly some survive that should not. On the other hand, Wikipedia also lacks many article that it probably should have. Now that you've pointed out another article, I'm sure it will undergo scrutiny too. Just my .02. Pianotech Talk to me!/Contribs 11:51, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- FYI, I have tagged the Outsourcery article with a multiple issues tag. Pianotech Talk to me!/Contribs 11:58, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- The main lack of ambiguity lies in the person who is writing the article. I am close to applying a {{spamusernameblock}} to your account. Will you please have the humility to wait until someone with no COI thinks your company is notable and writes about it. See also WP:OSE. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:21, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
WGSN
Article for WGSN (fashion forecaster), Worth Global Style Network. Hi, may I respectfully request that you reconsider its deletion. The article was of course not comprehensive, because it is meant to be a stub, to be grown by fashion insiders. It's notability should be clear from the fact that it is a dominant force in influencing the fashion industry. These details were included. WGSN is not well known to consumers, but it is well-known to fashion insiders. It is the single largest subscription-only news network of its kind. There is some controversy and mixed feelings about whether it is good for the industry. It should be clear to you that I am not connected to WGSN, whether Wikipedia has an article on it will not affect me, but I think that consumers would find this interesting. Please see: http://www.psfk.com/2007/09/is-wgsn-destroying-creativity.html http://www.psfk.com/2007/10/the-guardian-ignores-criticism-and-makes-wgsn-shine.html — Glueball (talk) 06:07, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- I would have expected an editor with seven years experience to have better ideas about what we need in a Wikipedia article. PSFK are apparently a rival to WGSN. Can you find any better, mainstream references? Feel free to create a draft in User:Glueball/sandbox and raise the matter at deletion review. I can let you have your text if you follow these instructions. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 06:44, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Hydra Sports Boats Deletion
There was a deletion of an article about a company which did not indicate the importance or significance of the subject. I unfortunately did not indicate a work in progress and was unable to complete the relevance and importance that Hydra Sports Boats has made to the Marine industry and recreational fishing as a whole. — Kirk Lewellen (talk) 13:10, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- I am very surprised that Monterey Boats was not deleted as spam, your COI is so close and blatant. What is your connection with Hydra Sports Boats? It would be good if you declared it. I have e-mailed your text. Develop new articles in User:Kirk Lewellen/sandbox (or anything that starts with

Old page
I happened to come across User talk:RHaworth/Jonjoe as it was using an image I looked at. It seems like whatever it was documenting is ancient history, is there any reason to retain it? Fences&Windows 00:26, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Dead cat
Re Category:Pages where attention has been requested: Hi - I see you rejected a WP:CSD#C1 on this category in July, on the grounds that it was in use, even though empty. Could you possibly have another look please - as far as I can see, this category was only populated by template {{attreq}}, which now redirects to {{helpme}}. Therefore any use of attreq will populate Category:Wikipedians looking for help instead. I think it can therefore be speedied, but wanted to get your opinion before doing so. — Tivedshambo (t/c) 06:45, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- Unused after three months. Go ahead and tag for speedy. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 06:57, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- I've deleted it. — Tivedshambo (t/c) 07:07, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello RHaworth. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Andrew Stone (Pineapple Dance Studios), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 22:48, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
KRMS speedy deletion
RHaworth, I see you deleted KRMS under criterion {{csd-a7}}. I'd like to discuss this with you, because I believe the deletion was in error under this criterion. I suspect you considered it to be a company, or organization, or group? If so, I urge you to consider that a radio station is actually a product. Consider for example, the radio station WCBS-FM. WCBS-FM, the radio station, is the product, whereas CBS Corporation is the company. While, in one sense, the radio station is usually a subsidiary company or a division of a company, the sense in which most people interact with a radio station is as a listener, and they listen to a product, not a company. While KRMS may not have been notable, it was not subject to A7, and instead should have been proposed for deletion by an advocating editor. If you agree, could you undo the deletion, please? (Also, if you happen again to take an action that conflicts with an earlier of mine, could you let me know on my talk page? I might have be mistaken in mine, so I'd want to know and learn from it.) Thank you. --Bsherr (talk) 17:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Apologies. The version I looked at still had the speedy tag in place - see this explanation. But the article was really too stubby. Entire content:
KRMS is a 1,000 watt AM radio station in mid-Missouri at the Lake of the Ozarks that offers news, weather and sports on 1150 AM and 97.5 FM.
. I suggest you find proper references and then re-create the article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:19, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Ok, that explains it. Yup, I don't disagree with your assessment of the contents of the article. But I'm not the creator nor a contributor. The article should be restored so that proper process can be followed to delete it, or so that the creator and contributors can have an opportunity to bring the article up to standards. Since the article is deleted, I'm not sure who to notify. Could you restore it, please? --Bsherr (talk) 17:29, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- In what way is a radio station not an organisation? The article was created by Krmsradio (talk · contribs · logs). If it is re-created and sticks, I will undelete the history for completeness but until then A7 applies. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:37, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
A radio station is an organization, but it is also a product. The article concerned the radio station as a product, not as an organization. It described the programs on the radio station and its broadcast frequency, not, for example, its corporate officers, its revenue and earnings, its stock ticker symbol, etc. Consider, as an example, Coca-Cola. An article about the Coca-Cola Company would be a proper subject for A7 (if it were unimportant, which, of course, it isn't). However, an article about Coca-Cola, the soft drink, the product, would not be a proper subject for A7. It is the same with a radio station. Does this address your question? --Bsherr (talk) 18:25, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- I am not going to seen restoring such an hopelessly stubby article. If you re-create it, I shall not touch it. Does that close the matter, please? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:30, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm sorry to press, but I'm afraid it does not, because the page history should as of right be restored, and it cannot be reproduced by recreating the article. If it helps, I think you'll be respected for correcting an error of process, regardless of the content of the article. --Bsherr (talk) 18:45, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- OK, then go to WP:DRV. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:47, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
I will if resolution is not possible here. One last try. Take a look at WP:PRODUCT, which distinguishes between organizations and their products and services. KRMS is the product/service, Viper Communications is the company. If I can't convince you that it's not an A7 subject, can I convince you that it's definitionally notable? Take a took at the first bullet of Wikipedia:OUTCOMES#Broadcast media. --Bsherr (talk) 18:26, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
Do you need more time to reply? --Bsherr (talk) 23:42, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Do the words "OK, then go to WP:DRV" above suggest anything to you? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:55, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
I thought I might be able to change your mind. But I think it would have been kinder just to say you didn't want to discuss it further than to ignore my post. Most administrators I encounter are very respectful. --Bsherr (talk) 00:29, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Deletion review for KRMS
An editor has asked for a deletion review of KRMS. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Bsherr (talk) 01:36, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
I have nominated Selective Sound Sensitivity, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Selective Sound Sensitivity. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

We've both tagged this for PROD and/or CSD and the tags have been removed. I feel sure that IP 205.219.45.3 is a sock for the creator. Could you please look into it. Thanks.--Kudpung (talk) 15:31, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Information on which IP address a logged-in user has been using is, for some reason, jealously guarded by a very small group of admins. However in this case, the whois info for 205.219.45.3 tells you all you need to know! There is an whois link at the bottom of every IP address contributions page, eg.

Help with questionable articles
Hello, I'm still relatively new here and attempting to help out with new page patrolling as much as I can. I've been confident in marking a page when I know it fit certain criteria for speedy deletion, however I found two pages which I'm unsure what to do with. I figured that since you're much more experienced than I and that since you also patrol new pages, I'd refer you to the pages in question and take note of what actions you take. My instinct was to mark them as copyright infringement for a speedy deletion, but I'm hesitant to do that since I don't know *exactly* what qualifies a page as such. The articles are Shakur Green and Shakur Greene. The introduction in the first and the entirety of the second is copied and pasted from (http://www.servinghistory.com/topics/Shakur_Green). Also of note is the fact that the pages have only one reference (not the cited site) and google searches turned up almost nothing on a "Shakur Green" or "Shakur Greene". However, the articles do have unreferenced information in regards to notability. Thanks for your time. Velociraptors (talk) 19:50, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- The page at ServingHistory is probably cloned from Wikipedia (with an invalid copyright notice!). The easiest way for you to get rid of Shakur Greene would be to convert it to a redirect. If Shakur Green gets deleted, a bot would eventually find the redirect at Shakur Greene and flag it for deletion. As for Shakur Green, I would probably be taken to task for using a speed tag: there is "assertion of importance" but no "evidence of notabilty". So probably a {{prod}} would be best, followed by AfD if the prod gets deleted. the AfD will probably spur people to find references and the article may get kept. But proposing deletion is certainly the best route rather than applying a weak {{refimprove}} tag. People such as TheInsider299 (talk · contribs · logs) need to be told very firmly that unreferenced articles are unacceptable. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:47, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I think you speedily deleted the above article recently created by Crinfo (talk · contribs). I think it is notable, and I was in the process of expanding it when Crinfo's version was deleted. I was able to save the expanded version (effectively recreating the article) and I have added some sources.
I have opened a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket. Feel free to pitch in there or on the talk pages of the article. If the consensus is to keep it, please could you undelete the original version. Thanks. -- Testing times (talk) 19:03, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

B Lyrics Mimer
Can you please tell me the reason why the article [B Lyrics mimer in 2009 March and B lyrics mimer in 2009 Sept and recently] is being flagged of as (g11) advertising when all references that are provided as sources are verifiable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhairavpardiwala (talk • contribs) 05:22, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- With your latest submission, you shot yourself in the foot by adding an {{hangon}} tag before anybody had proposed deletion! We now have five people who think the article is advertising. The best indication of this is that you are a SPA. The two independant references do not suggest that anybody is actually using this software - merely that you have asked these two "geek" sites to review your software. I suggest that you create a draft version of the article in User:Bhairavpardiwala/sandbox. Pay attention to spelling and capitalisation - "Kareoke Sofware" indeed - and above all, provide better references. Then raise the matter at deletion review. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:57, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Dear Mr. RHaworth, First and foremost thanks so much for allotting your time and energy to my aforementioned article. However some of the points that have been so obligingly singled out by you are not quite accurate.
- The fact that a speedy deletion had indeed been proposed at the time of my adding a {{hangon}} tag.
- Calling someone a SPA on the basis of imagination is nothing but libel.
- The word “geek” I believe is best left in high school and is not an indication of a mind conducive to formal address.
- Dotting “i’s” and crossing “t’s” has been declared redundant and do not qualify as a cause in itself in the face of the actual purport of the subject since the advent of spell check. Hope you install one soon.
I am a regular user and quite a fervent devotee of Wikipedia hence it follows that I too wished to make a contribution of my own to it. Sadly like too many new amateur hunters who take up a new sport, I ended up “shooting myself in the foot” as you so kindly put it. Therefore I must thank you for showing me the ropes in a new environment and demonstrating how people thwart beginner attempts. I shall remember you kindly Yours gratefully, Bhairav Pardiwala
- Re your points above: 1) any admin will confirm to you that in your revision of B lyrics mimer as of 2010-08-17, at 13:20:14 you added an hangon tag when no-one had proposed deletion. Yes, there was a previous version of the article with a speedy tag but that had been deleted nearly a year earlier so it does not count. 2) SPA stands for single purpose account - a glance at your account history says very loudly "single purpose"! You may have made many contributions when not logged in but they do not count. 3) one of your links was to techtipsgeek.com - a self-professing geek site!
- I am not going to re-instate the article. I gave you above the recommended, democratic route for re-instatement via deletion review. Why have you not followed that route? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:05, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of NewsIndexer
I removed the prod tag you placed on NewsIndexer because you had already placed a prod tag on the article on 3 August, which was then removed by the article creator on 9 August. Please take to AfD. Thanks! —KuyaBriBriTalk 16:30, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Cognitive Triangulation
I also removed a prod from Cognitive Triangulation as the article creator placed what can be interpreted as an objection to deletion on the talk page, thereby making deletion not uncontroversial. —KuyaBriBriTalk 16:58, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Uffe Elbæk
Currently I am trying to get Uffe Elbæk's description accepted as notable person to be mentioned on Wikipedia but it appears that another Admin doesn't believe that he is a notable person to be mentioned. I would like to seek another opinion. JamesBWatson refuses to consider Uffe Elbæk as a notable candidate for a Wikipedia entry. JamesBWatson states that Uffe simply set up a business... In reality Uffe created a whole new university.
Below is a copied conversation between JamesBWatson and I. (Please note that JamesBWatson admitted to not fully reading the links that I provided as support to prove the Uffe Elbæk is a notable person to be mentioned. Also note the countries--Javier Leocadio Colon 14:00, 19 August 2010 (UTC) where these magazines/links originate) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Javileco (talk • contribs) 08:48, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- It is bad enough that you do not sign your comments but to remove a proper signature added by the SineBot is little better than vandalism. You do not need to include your conversation with JamesBWatson - I am perfectly capable of following a link such as this. Did you actually read this message? The wording implied that I felt that the guy was sufficiently notable that you could re-post a new version of the article rather than following any deletion review process. Would it not have been better to, at least, prepare a new draft instead of writing a long screed to JamesBWatson (talk · contribs · logs)? Here is a kinky suggestion: create a new article and send it to AfD yourself! That will protect it from speedy deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:42, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Well I don't really live and breath this stuff so each time I write something I am learning about all the wikipedia short-cuts etc... I am not yet a follower in the Church of Wikipedia but don't banish me yet for commiting a sin and deleting a time stamp.
I think it is obvious I only understand half of what you guys write and the more I read from some of these entries it appears that you gain more street cred the more you edit... so I hate to think of all the time that was spent by some of you admins correcting stuff. So be kind ot the newbies!
I also resubmitted a new article but it appears to have also vanished without any comments or links to it.
I think I finally realize how to go about fixing my problem... but JamesBWatson's comments were just obviously his personal opinion and he made no attempt to actually read anything about my submission. He still claims that The Kaos Pilots is a private business which it is not.
I guess I will have to provide more proof than I originally assumed to proof that Uffe Elbæk is "worthy of recognition". -- Javier Leocadio Colon 11:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Javileco (talk • contribs)
- It may seem trivial but your consistent refusal to use ~~~~ to sign your comments suggests to me that you in fact have no desire to join the Church of Wikipedia - you merely wish to push one article through. I see no evidence of your resubmitting the article - did you save it? Did you check for it after saving? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:33, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
I was so focused on writing an explaination that I forgot to add my name. I resubmitted the entry for Uffe Elbæk and asked for it to be reviewed. I have also found links to several Ted Talks that he has been a part of in the USA, Canada and Asia. I hope I am moving towards a more acceptable entry now. --Javier Leocadio Colon 14:00, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Progressive Student Fraction
You speedy deleted Progressive Student Fraction (PSF). There was then an objection followed by a move and an under-construction sign at Progressive Student Fraction.

What a funny coincidence.
Hmm, That's funny. I just came across this page, Heart of a Champion Foundation, which you have put for deletion one year ago and wanted to notify you that I nominated it again in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heart of a Champion Foundation (2nd nomination). Now the funny part : When I looked for sources in Google Scholar ([1]), I found a very elaborate and interesting paper which includes deatils about this organization, and written by, guess who, R Haworth. It simply struck me. It took me some time until I noticed your name is Roger, while his name is Robert. Well, I guess there are some R Haworth's out there who'd actually like to keep this article :) Spatulli (talk) 23:16, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Deletion proposal of FFEAD article
Hi Roger,
I have just seen you proposing FFEAD article for deletion. I have found the article is nothing but a self promotion / advertisement. User name is User:Sumeet.chhetri; contents of the articles refer It is developed by Sumeet Chhetri and hosted on Google Code.

I have gone through the criteria for deletion info. I understand why you have deleted Community Health Nutrition Clusters. It is true that most of the content is from a Govt order. When I was writing I must have thought of Primary health management structure which in place in this state and must have given that background. Then I must have addressed the reforms etc for efficient service delivery. My idea was to start some where and write a sensible article about Public health & its management in the ste of A.P. I will make some effort in this direction.

- The article was deleted because its quality was so poor it was almost impossible to tell whether it described a notable subject. Firstly decide whether you are writing about public health management in Andhra Pradesh or just about Community Health Nutrition Clusters. When you have written a proper article, submit it to WP:AFC and it will stand a good chance of surviving. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:46, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

My article was deleted
Hi RHaworth,
I created a new wikipedia page about Rhino Rack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhino_Rack) and it was unfortunately deleted . It was not meant to be advertising, I just wanted to explain who their company was and what they provided. Oh well, I'll start again and rewrite so it sounds nothing like advertising.
I understand you can email me the article back. Can you send it to me with all the code included so I can make my updates and change the style of this article? Jmlnarik01 (talk) 18:26, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
- Done. You will have an uphill struggle establishing notability and, for goodness sake, leave out totally the "where to buy" and "YouTube videos" sections! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:41, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Why delete this redirect under R3? The redirect is definitely not recent; it was created before you created an account. Nyttend (talk) 18:03, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- OK, restore it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:10, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
Could you please undelete this article? We have received OTRS permission for it which I can add as soon as it is restored. VernoWhitney (talk) 11:36, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
- OTRS permission is pointless if the text is unencyclopedic! Copyvio was just a convenient excuse to get rid of the article. It was also deletable (but not necessarily speedily) on multiple grounds: context (what is it? possibly software but it does not say so explicitly); advertising; no evidence of notability. For those reasons I am not willing to restore it. I have e-mailed you the text. If you repost it (and I think it should be to Quran with Tafseer), I will: a) restore the deleted versions for completeness and b) send it to AfD. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:09, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
- I appreciate that the text is unencyclopedic, but permission does mean that the only reason given for its deletion is no longer valid. Thank you for the source, I have restored it using the source you emailed, although I'm not sure how this was easier or better than restoring it, since now you need to restore some history for attribution. Cheers. VernoWhitney (talk) 12:27, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Ping Identity deletion
Roger, I have put more work into the Ping Identity submission you recently deleted, including importance/significance, adding a history section and providing a number of citations and references. We're close to re-submission of an entirely new entry. What I could use from you is more guidance on changes that need to be made. I have been reading other corporate entries to find the right tone. Ping is recognized for its work with open standards, namely SAML, and getting it from spec stage into corporate networks. I'm trying to capture that work within the industry. By way of background, my colleague Charles Kaufman submitted the original entry that I wrote, I am re-working the content. JFontana (talk) 14:39, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

- Go to Atos consulting and find near the top of the page a link called "Move"! But first: in this message I told you to start your draft by providing links to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. I do not write for my own amusement - why have you ignored my advice? Also, have you tried the "My contributions" link right at the top of the screen? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:30, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
I am working on getting those sources, I have used some but they are from Atos so I am looking into adding some more from external sources. Was not intentionably ignoring your advice and I would appreciate if we kept these comments to tone that doesn't come across as angry - there's still a lot for me to learn and I did not intentionally aim to waste your time/annoy you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.201.133.240 (talk) 15:33, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
Regarding Seacom engineering college
The above page appears to have been moved without redirect. The deleted article is still listed on the end of the New pages patrol log however - I was unable to see a way to remove it since the page doesn't actually exist anymore. Contacting you since you are the person listed as the mover. ialsoagree (talk) 21:06, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- There are two faults in the patrol process:
- people should be asked to mark pages as patrolled even if they are not working from the new pages listing. I work from an RSS feed and never see the "mark page as patrolled" link. If I saw the link I would click it.
- if a page is moved or deleted, it should drop of the list.
- If you post these as proposed enhancements, I will endorse them. (But don't worry, all unpatrolled flags drop off after a month anyway.) — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:15, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
I believe that with this edit, User:Kaksoispiste was attempting to object to proposed deletion. With one objection to WP:PROD, I believe that any future attempts to delete the article will require an AfD instead.

Can you explain why you deleted Tom Clements (politician)? I had cleaned it up a bit but I didn't notice any excessive spamming, as you noted in your edit summary.--TM 17:45, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- The state I deleted consisted just of an hangon tag and had no previous edits! The state you edited was deleted by Seraphimblade (talk · contribs · logs). It had several links to the guy's own website and only one independent ref. but it is probably worth having a go at deletion review.

Could you de-salt the article so I can recreate it on my own?--TM 22:54, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

I have addressed the article (Allomap Molecular Diagnostic Testing) with the concerns that was raised.

In addition, Oncotype DX has successfully been posted on Wikipedia for while now and we're using the same format and structure as Oncotype DX.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do that would help me keep this page up on Wikipedia. Please dont delete page if possible. If you could provide me with all the chances to edit. Thank You. Zomy Hernandez
