I've revised an article to reflect Wikipedia guidelines. Does it get re-evaluated? If so, will the db spam tag be removed by an admin? Thanks! Access2justice4all (talk) 19:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I'm new to this and am not sure why you deleted my page. Could you explain further and how can I go about rectifying it?

I feel that Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters deserve as much attention as any other hard working band out there right now. They supply us with good times and groovy music, so we should supply them with an informational webpage supporting such art. For shame!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kbeshwate (talk • contribs) 09:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

STAN J

There is no conflict of interest of any kind. There is no personal gain for the subject as a result of the article. Yes, to the best of our knowledge and all reliable outside sources, he is the first known African American to host an all English speaking radio show in Japan, which is non syndicated. Please check every source you have at your disposal to find another African American who has hosted an all English Speaking Radio Show in Japan besides him. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.1.100.44 (talk) 07:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Range Lights Again

Hiya there

Thanks for your reply

i dont understand what you mean i cant move lighthouses to range lights as you suggested because this would be wholly inaccurate and misleading. Could you explain further im a newbie here

Cheers Jim —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.136.152 (talk) 23:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Range Lights

The tag was removed as the article refers back to the main article of lighthouses which talks in greater depth about range lights and cites sources.

therefore the tag is inaccurate

I have removed it again

Please look at the article again and scrutinize it before taking any further action

Thank you

Charles Crutchfield

I disagree with the Charles Crutchfield article, I know him and this is another act of him self promoting his business. He is sending out e-mails promoting this and has put it on his website for 8000 people to see. This is Wiki not a free advertising and marketing tool I say his article should be deleted! I got his email yesterday along with 8000 other patients and his bragging about how Wiki put him on there. cmon —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hollabackgurl29 (talk • contribs) 17:07, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Read the notability criteria. They say OR, not AND. Otherwise, only woldwide rock stars would make it to Wikipedia. There is other music, an I think a 40 year career as an internationally touring musician should qualify you for inclusion. Pustelnik (talk) 18:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Stick Online Deletion

Why was my Stick Online article deleted? The message you left me was worded extremely poorly, but I got the general message that the only way it wouldnt have been deleted is if I checked it every half minute,

Ormand cup

Ormand Cup i have removed your speedy deletion tag. since you did not read the full article. Look under the links. This cup is one of the most important boating events in the San Francisco area. The cup has a long history in the boating world. What do you know about boating? I can also put that tag up myself. I have been on here a lot longer then you. You have a record of removing articles you do not agree with. Futher i have read the rules for deletion, just because an article is short is not a reason to delete it. As a matter of fact, this article is the only one about boat racing in the San Francisco Bay area. Plenty of articles on WiKi, have few if any sources to back them up. You need to stay out of fields you do not know about. You also need a lesson in good manners, if you have heard of those.

MoreEnglishThanYou

Never mind, i just thought this was a REAL encyclopedia, like the books you know?

Any other cool stuff you like, other than Man-united, i am not into footie personally.

TheFurniture.com

Hi, I am wondering why TheFurniture.com was deleted. It contains only encyclopedic information, and I have asked repeatedly for help on adding sources so that it can be even more useful, but was ignored.

Deletion on polymer engineering article

Hi there, well i truly appreciate of being given a chance to learn this editing experience, but after doing some info-searching and studying, i realize that the article's content that i intended to make can actually be included in the other article which has already been made, polymer physics. Moreover, finding exclusive information of the article is somehow extremely difficult because its information usually overlaps with the other article, polymer science. Hence, i think...well, my article cannot fulfil the wikipedia requirement and it should be deleted. Anyway, i ain't an educator as what you guessed, i'm just a university student currently enrolling polymer engineering course. Well the article was intended to tell the people around what it is. Doesn't seem like it is gonna work now. Thanks anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Orientalknight (talk • contribs)

Please discuss this at its talk page. I am contesting the deletion of this page.

The Freedom of The Press

I would like a sufficient explanation as to why you nominated the article entitled, "The Freedom of the Press" by George Orwell, for deletion.

I cannot see any reason for the deletion of his original introduction, to the book Animal Farm, other than the intellectual censorship he discussed in the article.

I recently heard on the radio that Wikipedia has a page about one of Paris Hilton's dogs. I cannot believe this site is objective and promotes intellectual freedom if it censors the useful and legitimate information I was attempting to convey. The article certainly needed refinement, editing, and addition, but the censorship shown is absolutely odious.

Calling up the medics to assist in ICU

Hi Realkyhick. Kathleen and I are concerned that not much is happening in the ICU. do you think it would be a good idea if we sent a mailshot to all the members to point out that a backlog is building up and ask them to assist? I know you put a lot of effort into setting the ICU up and you'd be upset if it had to close. Itsmejudith (talk) 13:00, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:MarkLowryCD.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:MarkLowryCD.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 03:26, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Ye Art Cordially Invited to the Annex

Hello, My good Fellow, listen and I shalt telleth Ye a Tale of a Wiki that well comes All Manner of Articles relating to Fiction. What is This wonderful Place of Fantasy, You ask? It is the Annex, Haven to All fiction-related Refugee Articles from Wikipedia.

Before nominating or proposing a fiction-related Article for Deletion, It is My sincerest Hope that Ye import It to the Annex. Why do This, You wonder? Individuals have dedicated an enormous Amount of Time to writing These Articles, and ’twould be a Pity for the Information to Vanish unto the Oblivion where only Administrators could see Them.

Here is a Step-by-Step Process of how to Bringeth Articles into the Annex:

1. Ye shall need at least three Browser Tabs or Windows open. For the first Tab or Window, go to Special:Export. For the second, go here. (If Ye have not an Account at Wikia, then create One.) Do whatever Ye want for the third.
2. Next, open the Program known as Notepad. If Ye haveth It not, then open WordPad. Go to “Save as,” and for “Encoding,” select either “Unicode” or “UTF-8.” For “Save as type,” select “All Files.” For “File name,” input “export.xml” and save It. Leave the Window open.
3. Next, go to the Special:Export Window at Wikipedia, and un-check the two small Boxes near the “Export” Button. Input the Name of the Wikipedia Article which Ye wish to import to the Annex into the large Field, and click “Export.”
4. Right-click on the Page full of Code which appears, and clicketh on “View Source” or “View Page Source” or any Option with similar Wording. A new Notepad Window called “index[1]” or Something similar should appear. Press Ctrl+A to highlight All the Text then Ctrl+C to copy It. Close yon “index[1]” Window, and go to the Notepad “export.xml” Window. Press Ctrl+V to pasteth the Text There, and then save It by pressing Ctrl+S.
5. Now go to the Special:Import Window over at the Annex. Clicketh on “Browse…” and select the “export.xml” File. At last, click on “Upload file,” and Thou art done, My Friend! However, if It says 100 Revisions be imported, Ye be not quite finished just yet. Go back to Wikipedia’s Special:Export, and leave only the “Include only the current revision, not the full history” Box checked. Export That, copy the Page Source, close the “index[1]” Window, and go to the “export.xml” Window. Press Ctrl+A to highlight the Code all ready There, press “backspace” to erase It, and press Ctrl+V to pasteth the new Code There. Press Ctrl+S to save It, then upload once more to the Annex. Paste {{Wikipedia|{{PAGENAME}}}} at the Bottom of the imported Article at the Annex, and Ye art now finally done! Keepeth the “export.xml” File for future Use.

Thank Ye for using the Annex, My Friend — the Annex Hath Spoken 01:39, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Pinsky phenomenon article

The Pinsky phenomenon is very important and has many citations and uses.

But it is difficult to describe, being very deep advanced mathematics.

Getting the ideas together will take time.

Then the maths typsetting will take time.

Please do not speedily delete.

It is a stub and I will work on it as often as I have time, being a busy student.

Mark Pinsky who discovered the phenomenon and did the mathematics never refers to it in his own books or research papers with his own name; he seems to be too humble for this, and others just use it, without a detailed description.

So this will take time and a lot of work, but should be mentioned as a stub because of its importance.

Thanks. AmeliaElizabeth (talk) 18:03, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

why is the number 4325243524 disruptive? I like this number and it has many nice, interesting properties? If you don't like this number, ok, but I don't think it is disruptive.

Overzealous speedy deletion request

Hi - with respect to F. B. Vickers (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) your request for speedy deletion seems overzealous in hindsight and probably was so at the time also. I note you already have another message to similar effect. Perhaps you should slow down a little. The page was created by a new user who perhaps needed some help to become a useful contributer. The page quite clearly indicated the subject was a published author [2] a google search would ahve allowed you to improve the article and develop a new contributer instead.--Matilda ^talk 06:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

• Per your message and your AfD !vote - You voted to delete a published author? On what grounds - spite surely becuase it won't be notability! Did you try the Auslit references provided in the article? Google for F B Vickers shows clearly that he is a published author with the first 4 out of 5 hits clearly relevant to him as an author. Have a look at the diff provided above that you tagged for speedy deletion - brief yes - but your new pages patrolling is in my view destructive rather than useful if this is an example of your work. CSD G1 states Patent nonsense and gibberish, an unsalvageably incoherent page with no meaningful content. This does not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes of any sort; some of these, however, may be deleted as vandalism in blatant cases. Note the non inclusions - the original version was brief but it was not poorly written, it was not nonsense and gibberish, an unsalvageably incoherent page with no meaningful content - google of the first line - ie very little work for you - produced verifiability - the tag should have been to clean up, wikify, expand, .... --Matilda ^talk 20:03, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Noted you used A1 rather than G1 - hence strike through above--Matilda ^talk 21:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
    • I feel excessively crabby in my comments above - in part to be blamed on communication by text and in part to be blamed that I should try harder and thus I do apologise and will try harder in future.

I noted your further comments to the AfD. I appreciate the "marginal notability" position and had already stated it in my expanded comment earlier this afternoon. He seems to have been better known as Bert [3] - had a library named after him (not a building I think but a reference collection of Western Australian books), ... The Austlii links are not very satisfactory but do allow verification of the article claims (I am not a subscriber either). I still think he is atl east the worth of a Pokemon card!

Algon page

Algon The page is yes about a band and i am still in the process of writing and formatting it. I am currently still gathering all the information needed to write an accurate page. Please allow time for me to finish the page im a very busy guy. I will request that other members of my community help due to Algon's extreme popularity in my area they should help out a lot. They play a particularly significant role in the area. They are very influential and i feel they have the need to have their story expressed. While being a two man band their music is only a small part of their role in the community. It is due to the figure these to boys stand for that makes this band so significant. They have greatly influenced the local government and raised money for several charities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Algon9 (talk • contribs) 05:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I offer you an apology and I hope that you will accept it. I have been going in to bat (so to speak) based on a mistaken belief that you or TWINKLE had not warned Johnfos about an impending speedy. That is clearly incorrect and on closer digging I see that Johnfos has not been forthright in his returns on this matter. I copy for your information from his talk page his and my response upon my questioning him with the same material I provided to you as detailed above

• Yes fair enough - I can see why it has caused a lot of fuss - specifically it seems because you deleted the original CSD template warning message that was placed by Realkyhick as per this edit. You could have of course let me know that at the time you replied to my courtesy message - and you would then have showed a return courtesy to both myself and that editor!

I note that it is Johnfos who should also be apologising - but for now mine might be the only one you get?--VS ^talk 10:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Christian magazine and books

These two topics cover the Christian magazine and Christian book which is quite large in the United States and in Australia. What is your point of dispute? Thanks. Vividenblem (talk) 02:18, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

The notability page says "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." I believe that Chrisitan bookstores such as Parable and Family Life store and Koorong which solely survive on selling Christian books indicate that it is of notability. I cannot find the source on Wikipedia which indicates there must be enough physical difference for an article to be notable. For instance, there are various lines of philosophical thought which have no physical difference, but yet they are notable. I believe that Christian print is a subsidiary of print, thus should be separated from print and discussed in it's own right.

Why was my page on Ashley Perry deleted? He is very well-known in Israel.

You deleted it when I was only writing the first paragraph and hadn't put in any of the links that I intended to do so. Why didn't you wait to see the finished article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yaacov33 (talk • contribs) 13:45, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

re User:Maulwurfel

Hi. Thanks for your message on my talkpage. From a quick review of his contributions the only action by Maulwurfel since I lifted the block is to blank his talkpage. All removals of notices, etc. were prior to the block. My understanding is that he is going to create the articles on his native German wikipedia, and then translate them over to here. I hope this clarifies the situation. LessHeard vanU (talk) 00:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/List of claims made by Zeitgeist, the Movie

• I just created this page a week ago Friday (Jan 25) and so far I have been the only editor of this page, but I would like to avoid having it deleted in the hope that other editors will collaborate on it with me.

• I want to let you know that many things have changed regarding this article since you voted to have it deleted.

• I have fully read and responded to every Wikipedia guideline that I have been referred to,
• I have modified my plans for the article and changed the way I view the subject in order to fit within those guidelines,
• I have explained my position and my goals in detail on the AfD for the page,
• and I have completely blanked the talk page of the article since most of the concerns about guidelines involved the talk page and not the actual article.

• I am sure you will find that I have made a great effort to contribute to the usefulness and quality of Wikipedia, and that my actions are motivated by a desire to improve Wikipedia and to keep Wikipedia neutral.

• I believe that the only guidelines my article can still be accused of violating are those concerning "notability" and "lists of random facts" and being that this is such a young article, I urge you to revisit the article, the AfD for the article, as well as the article's talk page, and make sure that you still feel that the article needs to be deleted right now.

• Thank-you for your time, and I appreciate your efforts in keeping Wikipedia clutter-free!

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Budget Code of Ukraine

I have deleted this article while you were preparing the AfD for it. The deletion was because all articles this user created today were copyright violations, some more obvious than others. User claied public domain for some, but as you can see here[4], this is incorrect (they weren't actual law texts but sumaries). Anyway, I would agree that even if they were public domain,they would belong on Wikisource, not here. I hope you don't mind that I speedied instead of letting the AfD happen, but copyright violations are more urgent than most other considerations. Fram (talk) 09:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Paul Albu

I apologize for removing your speedy tag on this article -- it's just that I noted an assertion of notability within its text. Frankly, I don't believe the assertion, and I'm going to AfD this to get rid of it, but I can totally understand why you tagged it. I just wanted to apologize for second-guessing you, because, having seen your hard work in deletion before, I respect your decisions. Accounting4Taste:talk 19:47, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding. The AfD is set and I'd love to see this gone speedily -- I just have the occasional pang of conscience about even the silliest assertions of notability, that's all. Much obliged. Accounting4Taste:talk 19:54, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Again, my thanks (and now we know it's gone for good). I think you were right -- next time I'll just quiet that pang and save everyone some time. Accounting4Taste:talk 20:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Rick Boychuk

Please note that I haven't finished writing the article yet. If you're going to nominate it for deletion, could I please request that you defer the vote until I've done so? CJCurrie (talk) 07:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

The notability guidelines permit the inclusion of articles on municipal politicians who have received significant local coverage. Boychuk has, and in my view merits an article accordingly. CJCurrie (talk) 07:33, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

There are far more than three articles. As I said, I'm not finished. (And I should note that I only have access to online articles going as far back as 1993; I'm sure there are several relevant pieces that I don't have access to at present.) CJCurrie (talk) 07:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

You removed the speedy tag without comment in the edit summary. Please state your reason. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 08:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Reason is the previous comment in edit summary. I forgot to remove the tag at that time so I did it a a separate edit. Broadly, the guy is borderline, IMV, and better dealt with at AfD (which may also turn up some better sources). --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 08:53, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Strange. It's not there. Thanks for not biting my head off for misinforming you :) All the best, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 09:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I was more curious than anything else, really. You aren't required to give a reason, of course, but an editor with your extensive experience usually does. I'm going to give the original author a bit more time to make his or her case before I take it to AfD. The author is a newbie, and has asked about what is needed to improve the article. That's a good sign, but as I've said before, the best-written article in the world can't help a subject that isn't notable. Thanks, Roger. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:09, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Awesome job on the article! I have nominated the article in the WP:DYK section of the main page for the best new articles. I did a little paragraph formating but the article is for the most part what you wrote.

Why is this page being taken down almost as soon as I post it? Please Fasten Your Seatbelts is a legitimate recording band, and this is not for promotional purposes. They have played numerous shows with signed and local bands alike. Just because they are not on a major label does not make them notable. Monkeyfloop

I disagree completely, as I can point to numerous examples of unsigned bands on Wikipedia. So tell me what about them is so un-notable, as they fit into other categories that these other unsigned bands fit into as well. Monkeyfloop —Preceding comment was added at 08:42, 11 February 2008

Could you please explain, how my bio is any different than that of anyone else who has run for political office? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qoholeth (talk • contribs) 09:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

In a nutshell, bios for notable politicians are put completely together by independent third parties from reliable published sources. A rule of thumb goes that if someone has to write their own bio and is only able to fill it by using material they have written themselves, they aren't notable enough for inclusion in a global encyclopedia. See also conflict of interest for an explanation of the neutrality issues. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 10:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

The article is unlikely to be deleted. I do agree that I need to enunciate the band's notability better.

I see that it is really hard to get into WP by just having a limited amount of time, as said one admin was suggesting to me to write the article in German first than transfer into English since my time is very limited, for that he removed all tags from the entry. I came a long and wanted to expand it with an description of the series and all of their names, since it changed very often..., well there wasn't much to expand anymore and this is very annoying if you tried several times to do what admins or bots suggested and don't even get a change in a normal time to fix the problems, mostly the article is removed or deleted a couple of minutes after editing.

When the article was first created, I added a speedy to it, because it made no sense; however, the user is Hungarian (and seems knowledgable enough on the Hungarian wiki). I removed my speedy and replaced it with a couple of tags in order to give that user, and possibly other users that may have knowledge about the subject, an opportunity to improve it. Now I see that you have added another speedy to it; I removed that one, both due to the nature of the article (which really isn't that short, just needs arranging and lots of clearing up) and out of respect for the user. I suggest that if you still think it should be deleted, it should be prod'ed, as opposed to speedied. Thank you :) — NovaDog — (contribs) 00:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

The A1 criterion states: Very short articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. There was clearly enough context.

Fair use rationale for Image:JitneyJungle.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:JitneyJungle.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. WebHamster 17:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Makeoutclub

Hello,

Could you please explain your comment regarding the Makeoutclub wiki serving as a promotional vehicle? The Wiki entry for "MOC" was created within the Wikipedia guidelines in September of 2007 and removed from speedy deletion contention by Wiki admins. Each claim and remark within the article was provided a citation.

There are entries for several different "social networking" sites on Wikipedia (Myspace / Friendster / Facebook) and Makeoutclub predated each of those three (and a large majority of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites these).

There is no hidden agenda here other than to allow Makeoutclub to be alongside the others it helped inspire and to mark its influence on web 2.0 social networking and the counter culture niche that still belong to the site.

Also, if you check the history of the MOC Wiki entry, you'll be able to see who wrote it.

subst:nn-warn|Women's Action Network for Development

A tag has been placed on Women's Action Network for Development requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it 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 page (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. Ngo-wand (talk) 09:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

He has blatantly refused to do so, so I am now posting the content of our e-mail messages here so that he will no longer evade this principle. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:30, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

(message thread begins here, in reverse chronological order)

It is quite apparent that you have no clue as to the mission or rules of Wikipedia. It is an encyclopedia, based on verifiable facts and sources, about subjects that are notable. Your station is not, or at least you have not provided reliable, verifiable sources showing why it is. We have standards for notability at Wikipedia, and Pipeline Radio did not meet them. Just because your station exists does not grant it the automatic right to have an article on Wikipedia.

Moreover, the fact that you were basically writing about a subject with which you have material involvement is also a violation of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. That policy is based on the principle that those who are not involved with a subject are best suited to present a clear-eyed, neutral view of the notability of a subject.

You are free to create your own website and post whatever you wish, whether it is true or not. Have fun.

Robert,

Nice to see how you hide behind your computer maybe we should raise this on air on Monday, I am trying to put a case over and nobody seems to listen. Well because of this we have put up a page on the internet, which is a complete copy of the Pipeline Radio Page.

I hope you understand that this station made radio history, its like trying to wipe something that is a damn fact out of history.

I hope you understand my concern, as as for me not being a pro presenter this is the biggest load of crap this side of England. I have presented for the BBC, NRK, and many other big companys.

I hope now your understand why I am puzzled.

Deletion review

See Wikipedia:Deletion review second paragraph, which says, "This includes appeals to restore deleted pages and appeals to delete pages kept after a prior discussion". I think it has always been like that. On the other point of relisting, Wikipedia:Deletion process states "If not enough discussion happened to determine a consensus or lack thereof add (the relist tag)". It is normally used when only 2 or 3 comments have been added. If there are a lot of comments and still no consensus, there is little point in relisting as it just adds to the lack of consensus. --Bduke (talk) 08:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Cream skimming

I am curious as to why you put back the "lack of verifiable references" tag on this article, in view of the fact I've found 3 relevant ones to the two conditions I mention, telecommunications and the postal service, and that one of the references is on the website of The World Bank and the other is on the website of the Postal Rate Commission, whom I think are good reliable third-party sources. I'm just curious as to why you seem to discount them, and I'd like to understand better. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) (talk) 17:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, the thing is, I can go back maybe ten years to the Usenet News Group comp.dcom.telecom where someone did a parody of Don McLean's "American Pie" about "The Day the Bell System Died" about how some competitors "wanted to skim long-distance creams."

I was trying to document the idea, which is why I put in the comment that it is debatable whether cream skimming actually occurs as often as it is feared. My point in giving the examples from telecommunications was to show that despite the fears of that occurring, it never happened; the market was big enough for everybody to get a piece of the pie, and in general long-distance costs dropped dramatically.

I may not have been as neutral as I should have been; I personally think the idea is overblown in most cases. However, the concept is well known and we do not have it defined here so I felt the article was long overdue. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) (talk) 17:58, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Page Tabs

I'm glad you like the tabs on my page. I wish I had thought of them, I borrowed them from a help article and made some changes to make them generic so they could be used anywhere needed. The global macro that sets them up is called PageTabs, and you can see the instructions from them here. If you're interested in using them, here's how:

• Create a tabs page; this becomes the tabs themselves. The reason for doing this is that if you add or change the tabs, they are consistent on all the pages to which they are used.
• Create the tabs page like this (this is how it will look; don't use a <nowiki> on the actual page. See the source for my User_talk:Rfc1394/tabs page for how it's done.

{{PageTabs
 |[[User:Realkyhick|My page]]  
 |[[User_talk:Realkyhick|Main Talk Page]]
 |[[User_talk:Realkyhick/3|2007]]
 |[[User_talk:Realkyhick/2|2006]]
 |[[User_talk:Realkyhick/1|2005]]
 |This={{{This|1}}}}}

Save that page, calling it, say "User_talk:Realkyhick/tabs"

• Include the tabs page as a macro on each page you're going to use it, near the top of the page, in the form something like {{User_talk:Realkyhick/tabs|This=1}} but on each page you use it, you change "This=" to the number of the page you're using it on, e.g. for the example above, the main page would be 1, your talk page would be 2, your 2007 page would be 3, etc.

Write back if you have questions. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) (talk) 18:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I wanted to mention, thanks for asking about the tabs. Based on your question, I decided to update the documentation for the PageTabs macro, giving an example, primarily based on what I put here on your user talk page, so that other people could figure out how to use it, not merely the ones willing to ask me.

Footprints Recruiting

You deleted an entry I made for Footprints Recruiting on Feb. 19, 2008 that was not very good. I completely revised the entry and put it on my Sandbox page - I would appreciate it if you could take a look at it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Teneriff/Sandbox

I paid particular attention to your comment about notability. Footprints Recruiting is notable for three reasons:

It is the largest ESL recruiter in the world - i.e. is a major component of ESL teaching industry, which is a multi-billion dollar business.

It is the first recruiting company to voluntarily implement screening of both schools and applicants (including criminal records).

It offers a free comprehensive, professional library of teaching aids, plans etc. – available to all. This is unique level of support for a teacher recruiting company and is not restricted to Footprints Recruting customers.

Thanks for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Response to 2008 SEC Tournament

Mosley Guitars

You have had some input to correct and object to the content for Mosley Guitars, Grayson Guitars and GraysonDNA so I wanted to contact you.

The information in the Mosley Guitar Wikipedia entry is riddled with untrue statements. The company was not founded in the 60's and never produced guitars in the 60's. They have made up a history to attempt to sell guitars based on fraud. They put in all of their listings connections to websites and people that have no connection with the company. They have paid the main writer to produce untrue, inaccurate material.

They should be removed from Wikipedia immediately.Creativepart (talk) 13:44, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hello there, I am confused why something has been labelled vandalism, I had not tried to edit anything today. I clicked on the word vandalism to see what it meant, then got another one! AaaaaGh! I was only trying to check my talk page and have a look at one of my contributions that needs working on. I am very new to this, I am trying to learn how to use wiki but every time i do anything, i seem to get it wrong, I have been reading all the guidelines to help me but finding it hard to learn, i keep getting pulled up before I manage to make any corrections. I would like to edit my article about Carolena Nerricio (she comes under the catergory, creative professional) so am looking for some templates to help me. Could you possibly point me in the right direction? I am not finding wiki very easy to get the hang of. If I looked at another wiki page of another creative professional and used that as an example to help me understand how to write the links and references needed, would that help do you think? Your help would be much appreciated! ChaosBaby (talk) 23:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Carolena Nericcio

She invented an entire style of dance that is now performed all over the world by hundreds of dancers, what is not notable about that? And she has already been written about in several other wiki articles (as being the person that founded the particular style of dance) If users have written articles about dancers who used to be students of Carolena's and are now famous dancers themselves, then surely Carolena is notable as well? You may not have heard of her if you are not a belly dancer but there is not a belly dancer on the planet who has not heard of her. Please review this subject again, Thanks ChaosBaby (talk) 02:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: carolena article

All the info I added here ---->>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ChaosBaby/Carolena_Nericcio <<<-----is from either http://www.fcbd.com/ or other bellydance sources.

CMH Records Page

I added the CMH Records Page because CMH records is mentioned on other sites in Wikipedia. It provides background information for very popular labels such as Rockabye Baby! and thr Vitamin String Quartet. CMH Records has been around for over 30 years and is very highly regarded in the bluegrass music community. Many people can benefit from the information that will be added to this page. Please let me know if there is something I can remove in order to keep this page active.

Shalini Ganendra

for the Shalini Ganendra Article - please consider the following facts which can be found by searching the name:

Shalini Ganendra:

was awarded a prestigious Harkness Fellowship from Phillips Exeter Academy in 2007.

is the first Sri Lankan President of the Oxford & Cambridge Society of Malaysia. She has created a regional presence for the Society and intiated the Dialogue Series which encourages debate and dialogue between members/guests with dignitaries who speak on a subject of choice.

- her gallery is the first to show contemporary artists from Malaysia and Sri Lanka during New York's Asian Art week.

Perhaps the article can be reworded to be less of a gallery promotion and more of a focus on her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alotofeffort (talk • contribs) 09:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Not everything is available online. Newspaper articles are rarely kept online for very long especially from smaller papers who have limited resources. I really don't know if these are still available online or not. I'm quite sure the papers are available on microfilm as most are. If microfilm copies are not available in your local library or university library, you can get them through interlibrary loan.

I'm not quite sure what you're problem with the articles is. Are you saying that just because they are not available online and for free that they can't be used as sources? The requirements of WP:BIO state that "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject". - It does not state that "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject, and is available for free on the internet." 69.68.238.142 (talk) 19:53, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Lorrainehunt.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 13:00, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I dont know how to not advertise an website when you are trying to write about it, take for an example, Wikipedia has an article of themselves and they are adveryising themselves. So if my article gets taken down, then should not this one.

mclane high school

re: conflict of interests. i did some research and looked @ histories of other high schools so will follow that model - mainly I'm trying to show my colleagues the power of wikipedia (they're just catching up to it now; i've been reading it for years and even donated before under a different username.). i just sent an email encouraging them to read the user guidelines and contribute both to the page in question and area they're knowledgeable about. thank you for all you do for the worlds biggest encyclopedia.Dormanmath (talk) 05:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Brandon

Fast on the trigger?

Just a quick note to let you know I've removed your speedy deletion request for Phase One(Motorcycle Team), as "no context" no longer applies. Most new editors build articles in multiple edits over a period of an hour or so, so you might not want to slap an A1 speedy request on an article the same minute it's created. Thanks!--Fabrictramp (talk) 17:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

SugarDVD Deletion

Hello,

I have submitted an article two times today and you have deleted it citing it as a blatant advertisement. I have tried to change it by taking pricing out of the article, removing a list of media coverage,and updating words that may seem sensational. I have tried referencing all facts and mentions of celebrity endorsements as well. I am not sure what to do to make it acceptable.

I looked at several other adult industry Wikipedia articles before writing this and my article seems no more sensationalized or promotional than the Wikipedia entry for Hustler, Playboy, or Wantedlist. I was just hoping to get some feedback from you. Why did this article stand out among millions of articles that seem no different to me?

Two templates on an article that is less than one minute old is entirely unnecessary. As I am sure you are aware, article building is an ongoing process of expansion and revision. We certainly don't want to scare off new editors by slapping templates on articles that are honestly less than one minute old. the_undertow ^talk 04:45, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I didn't mean to imply that I was a new editor, but to suggest that others may be discouraged by these templates. Yes, you are correct, they are not the Scarlet Letter, but I think articles should be given more than one minute before templating. the_undertow ^talk 04:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

That's why I'll leave new page patrol to you. It's generally junior high bands or an article about the 'greatest and cheapest' web-hosting service in teh internets. the_undertow ^talk 05:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Good reason for speedy delete. --Rosiestep (talk) 05:13, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't mean to argue and I don't mean any disrespect. I know you hold authority and I have no interest in undermining that.

I am not affiliated with SugarDVD or with Wantedlist. I am a 21 year old girl in my 2nd year at University and I am writing this article as a communicative writing exercise. Each person in my class had to chose a subject that was not yet in the Wikipedia database, get it approved by the professor,convince the class of it's relevance, and create a Wikipedia article for it. I originally came across the name of this company a year or so ago when I was looking up information on Tori Spelling's fascination with porn. I found the name of the company in an article on page six of the New York Post and I tried to look it up on Wikipedia, which is my go to place for most information. There was no article. I was given this assignment last Thursday and I remembered that this particular subject had no Wikipedia entry so I decided I would tackle it.

I presented it before a class of 55 students, a professor, and a teacher's assistant and I used my original article as support for my case that SugarDVD is a subject worthy of an encyclopedia entry. Adult companies are not typically accepted as "interesting" or "important" which is exactly why I chose this subject. I feel like society approaches the sex industry with a lack of respect and I have never agreed with that. This is just a small article and I am by no means lobbying for change by writing it. I believe the company is interesting. From a business stand point, I am impressed by the exponential growth that happens with many adult companies in the first few years of existence. These companies grow 20 times faster than restaurant chains, coffee houses, and music stores.

Secondly, I am a communications major and I am impressed with their marketing strategy. I have worked in marketing and being persuasive is challenging enough without having the taboo of sex working against you. Once I started reading about SugarDVD, I became more and more interested in how their marketing team was able to create a presence in an America that has become very conservative in the last 15 years. If my article seemed persuasive or promotional, I apologize. I was merely excited and impressed to learn about something new.

Part of writing for a company or making a submission to a website is being rejected or censored but I truly feel this is interesting and worth writing and reading about. I have no qualms making my article more objective but I feel as if I've been slapped in the face to get this far only to be shot down.

If nothing else, my article can't be considered unimportant if these two are.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WantedList

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelliflix

They are each about adult rental businesses that follow the Netflix business model. Essentially, all three of these articles are about the exact same thing. I added in things about Tori Spelling and other celebrities because those were the news stories that I found about the company and they were cited and I felt that they were notable. Aside from Playboy, I never see any major articles about porn companies in the press.

I don't mean to go on forever but I want to make sure I have made my point. I feel like I have a solid case. I would really appreciate it if you could advise me. Thank you. I really am grateful that you've taken the time to read this.
