Www.eardisley.com

Hi Rjd0060, I would like to hear your opinion on the deletion process for the above article. I tagged it for deletion under A7 (club). The tag was later removed and removed with the {{newpage}} which asserts that the user is aware of the notability criteria. However, it is relatively clear that the new user is not familiar with the notability criteria. In this situation would it be appropriate to restore the speedy deletion template? -CTS talk 04:38, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Except for obvious cases for deletion, speedy tags (once removed) shouldn't be re-added. Not a rule, but general practice. You might want to go to AFD for this one though. Rjd0060 (talk) 05:10, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
But keeping in mind that it was removed by the creator, I think that it should be appropriate to send it through the normal CSD process. -CTS talk 05:27, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
My mistake. You're right, I deleted the article (again - it was already a7'd earlier). Thanks! Rjd0060 (talk) 05:32, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

The video I added to "Trade"

Hey Rjd, I don't have a conflict of interest regarding this topic and I don't mention myself or any businesses I'm involved in. However I do think the content is helpful and that wikipedia is very light on good video content so I wanted to share this video. I'm new to making contributions to wikipeida though so I could use some help. Do you think the video is helpful? If so, what is the best way to add it? Any help is greatly appreciated as I really do care about the topic and spent a lot of time creating a video that I thought was helpful.

MetricStream Page

I guess the Metricstream company page is deleted by mistake. Could you please restore it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.251.15.178 (talk) 04:52, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

It was no mistake. It was deleted for the reason listed in the deletion log. In this case, the reason for deletion was "Effectively unsourced since creation. No improvement since tagged in Sept, and no sources of significant depth found in search." There were also references in the deletion to a Wikipedia inclusion guideline, WP:NCORP. In accordance with the proposed deletion policy, the article may be restored upon any reasonable request however I would be hesitant to restore this one without knowing somebody was going to work on improving the content so it is more suitable with Wikipedia guidelines. Rjd0060 (talk) 05:01, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

MetricStream is covered vastly by reliable and independent secondary sources like Gartner, Forrester and other research agencies.3 Let me know if you need any supporting articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.251.15.178 (talk) 05:56, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

1 edit edit war. Amazing.

Erm.

I made 1 edit.

Started a discussion on the talk page after the one (1... singular) wp:BRD edit was reverted. Noticed that this was pointless. Dropped the article from my watch list.

Did you actually review that before you posted to my talk page? If you did, study more on the reading thing. If not, please do before posterizing up. God I despise this community. But the only way to work in this very important project is to put up with this nonsense.

Toodles.

I have removed your pointless and incorrect statement from my talk page.

Joe Kearns Goodwin

Hello, You recently deleted an uncontested PROD of the article Joseph Kearns Goodwin. My friend, the creator, complained that the article had been deleted, and I, a mostly-retired Wikipedian, decided to help her out. I found references to confirm that the subject meets the general notability guideline (it is true that they do not (yet) meet the WP:POLITICIAN guideline, but that's irrelevant), and I added those references, in addition to making some edits. While Goodwin does not necessarily meet WP:POLITICIAN, he clearly meets WP:GNG. I understand the desire to delete poorly formatted pages, but I believe that wikipedia as a community should work to avoid deleting pages where a simple Google News search would have proved that the subject meets the guideline. This would be extremely helpful to the public image of the site. I have created the article at Joe Kearns Goodwin, and I will create a redirect from the other page. Please feel free to reply on my talk page with any questions or concerns. Regards, ~Gosox(55)(55) 05:04, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I agree that it's an old argument, it's just a pet peeve of mine. It's one of the many reasons that I left. ~Gosox(55)(55) 05:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Jozef Cieminski

I think I understand correctly why my article on Rev. Cieminski was deleted. As written, it did not sufficiently explain his significance. Hopefully it was just a matter of my article's not being fully ready for publication to Wikipedia. If you wouldn't mind taking a quick look at the first part of my blog article on Rev. Cieminski, I would be very appreciative of your opinion on whether I should reattempt the article or not.

Thanks, Joe

282 MEP

You deleted the above article that I created, and now I am unable to see my original contribution. Ref:

  • 17:58, 6 March 2012 Rjd0060 (Talk | contribs) deleted page 282 MEP (Deleted because expired WP:PROD; Reason given: . )

I understand that there was a request for more references and I uncovered both old and new DIN data, per:

  • old DIN: 00108316 (Frosst > Merck Canada)
  • new DIN: 02238646 (Pendopharm)

The license to manufacture this drug was transferred to Pendopharm, Montreal, Quebec 2006-10-20 or 1998-08-14 (discontinued by Merck). However, the 282 MEP links on the Pendopharm website were deleted a few days after I posted it. This prescription drug is still available, although it is presently unclear if Pendopharm is still the current licensee.

If it is possible to recover my original contribution, I can try to find current references. Otherwise, I may not bother since it is discouraging to have to repeat an earlier effort. Enquire (talk) 23:55, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

OTRS question

Hi, I was looking at WP:OTRS, and had a question. What kind of backlog do we usually have (or currently have) in it?

I was reviewing Shannon T. Boodram (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), and noticed that the image in it was uploaded on January 1st with a comment "The license agreement will be forwarded to OTRS shortly." However, the user that uploaded the image is now blocked as a sockpuppet, which forced me to question the legitimacy of such a ticket ever having been submitted. Is the backlog sufficient that this could still be in the queue; or if no such ticket exists, should the image be sent the way of the copyvio disposal system? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

I think I located the answer to my own question ... after checking a sample of images in Category:Items pending OTRS confirmation of permission for over 30 days, I found some with no edits since July 2012 still awaiting either Wikipedia:OTRS confirmation or deletion. So, appears to be a sizable backlog. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 21:56, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

OTRS Retention

I'm sympathetic to the need to recruit new users to OTRS but I wondered if you guys have considered the impact of poor communication from the OTRS admins on existing OTRS volunteers. If you are not sure what I'm about, look at ticket 2011120510017359. I resigned from OTRS because you (the OTRS admins) wouldn't engage with what turned out to be well founded concerns about a particular user. Just a thought for you to ponder on. I'd send you an email but obviously my experience with you taking them seriously is pretty limited. At least this way I'll know you got the message. Spartaz Humbug! 16:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I'll first say that this ticket was the first I've seen of the whole "situation" that it refers to. I was inactive for a while, and just came back to OTRS mid-late 2012. On the general subject of communication, however, yes ... this is something we're working to improve. Not sure if you're familiar with some recent discussion on Meta, but it yielded a number of changes both internally and on the 'public' side of things. And we're constantly working to continue this move towards appropriate communication and transparency. If you have any specific suggestions we're always open to hearing them. Thanks. Rjd0060 (talk) 17:04, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, simple suggestion, don't ignore your hard working and reliable users when they have genuine issues of concern. Bit late for me, but with falling admin numbers and few good candidates coming through you can't afford to lose any more good volunteers with this kind of stonewalling. I raised the lack of communication with the foundation as well but they couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge the email. Any wonder people don't want to be associated with this place? Spartaz Humbug! 20:00, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but you're referring to an issue that happened in December, 2011 - so it's not quite right if you're insinuating that nothing has changed in the year since then. But as I've said, our "doors" are always open, and we've been working (and showing progress) on a number of related issues. Rjd0060 (talk) 20:08, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm not insinuating anything Rjd, I'm providing feedback. You asked for my suggestions and I commented on the issue that made me give up OTRS activity so I don't understand why you need to be so snarky back. It does rather belie your statements that you are open to hearing suggestions, which doesn't exactly auger well for being more communicative and listening does it? Spartaz Humbug! 02:37, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Snarky? Well, I'd disagree. Anyhow, as I've pointed out, your concerns pointed out are related to issues from over a year ago so I assure you that such issue has been resolved. Thank you for your feedback. Rjd0060 (talk) 04:48, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) Hi Spartaz. What you said about poor communication from OTRS admins may have been true in the past, and indeed there were some public complaints from agents themselves about some of the recent actions of admins (see m:Talk:OTRS/Volunteering#"Comments" on prospective OTRS helpers for the discussion). To that end, the admins made a statement about increasing transparency and accountability. I know actions speak louder than words and whilst I'm not an OTRS admin myself, I've been working on a complete overhaul of the pages on Meta-Wiki (and to some extent OTRS wiki). You can see what I've been working on at with a couple of the OTRS admins at m:OTRS/Cleanup - a small step to increasing this communication is the addition of extra details at m:OTRS#OTRS administrators. There's also been a rewording of all of the pages that a prospective volunteer or interested user would see to clarify what OTRS does and who to contact if you have any problems. I'd appreciate any input you have on how to improve any of the pages that are being worked on here, on my Meta talk page or feel free to just boldly edit m:OTRS/Cleanup too. Thanks! Thehelpfulone 21:56, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
I don't mean to be unhelpful but since you don't have access to the emails/issue underlaying this I'm not entirely sure how helpful your intervention is because it doesn't in anyway touch on the issue that upset me. Spartaz Humbug! 02:37, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Is there a minimum OTRS activity level required?

Hi, I saw your plea for more OTRS volunteers at WP:BLPN, and thought I'd volunteer, but I wonder if there is a minimum level of activity needed? I've been a Wikipedian for many years now, but I have inactive periods, I can't guarantee being available every day. If I would be able to take the occasional ticket when I'm available (and follow it through to the end) I'd love to help. --GRuban (talk) 14:54, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

While there are no activity requirements per se, accounts that are long inactive are closed as we don't just want open access if it isn't being used. :-) You're not required to do any amount of work though. One email or a hundred emails ... every reply is helpful! Rjd0060 (talk) 19:12, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
"long" means a month or a year? I don't think I've ever gone a year without wiki work, but I might have missed a month once or twice... All right, will volunteer. --GRuban (talk) 19:35, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! So, what's the next step? Should I get email, talk on En, or talk on Meta? Or is there some other page of instructions I should be reading and following? --GRuban (talk) 20:45, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

The article for Phildel has previously been deleted, but since she has now released a full album, and is thus a notable musician, I would like to recreate the article or start a new one. Quacksecho (talk) 10:49, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Restore request

As an administrator, you can move articles without creating a redirect. Could you do that with the Mysticum article? You moved that one to User:H. 217.83/MysticumMysticum by mistake (see my talk page), and although it could still be improved, it is more or less ready. And I would like you to move the deleted Hell Militia article to User:H. 217.83/sandbox so I can show their notability. --217/83 15:15, 22 March 2013 (UTC) I asked you one month ago. --217/83 08:12, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of Eva Pierrakos article

I am wondering why you decided to delete the article on Eva Pierrakos, considering her "not notable." I object to this determination. Eva Pierrakos was the founder of the Pathwork, an internationally known spiritual path, with some 10,000 adherents worldwide. She was the daughter of a famous Austrian novelist, Jakob Wasserman, and the husband of the son of another famed German novelist, Hermann Broch. The Pathwork itself is remarkable for being a marriage of Eastern philosophy and Western psychology. I note that there are very many wikipedia pages on people who have had much less influence on people and society. How can wikipedia create a page on, say, Daft Punk, which is just a couple of guys who have cut some records? Hmmm

Thank you for your response,

Alan Saly Alan Saly (talk) 19:11, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

I deleted it, as it says in the deletion log right next to the part you copied here, in accordance with WP:PROD. I have, nor ever had, any opinion on the article. Also, another admin has deleted article twice since, so you'd need to discuss with them. Rjd0060 (talk) 23:31, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Malaysia Airlines logo.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Malaysia Airlines logo.png. 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 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Werieth (talk) 00:40, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Deleted article Braminar

Some five years ago you deleted this article, saying it wasn't "notable" enough. Is there any way of restoring or otherwise reading the text of the deleted article? I'm writing an article about text based games from the 80s and the information on that page would have been very valuable to me right now. I feel a certain sense of irony here, that I'm trying to make a record of something to ensure it's preserved for future generations, while people in charge of maintaining such an archive, are actively deleting it. We may not know the names of those who burnt down the Library of Alexandria, we'll never even know the extent of what it once contained, but preserved for eternity will be the name Rjd0060.

Deleted Article Dennis Grant

This article was deleted in March. The subject of the article was the first Canadian to win an SCCA ProSolo National Championship, and was a professional race car driver. Sure, ProSolo may not seem like much next to Formula 1, but it is still a nation-wide, international race series run by one of the major American racing organizations. The article will be restored.

Oops

I saw VRTS ticket # Ticket ID parameter missing. and missed that you had already responded.

I had composed a draft response:

I understand why the attempts to remove the address were reverted. However, I opened a discussion here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Request_to_remove_an_address

where a consensus of editors will weigh in. I think it is likely there will be an agreement to remove it If that doesn't occur, we can discuss next steps.

However, the ticket is locked. Would you be willing to either send a note indicating the discussion I opened, or unlock it so I can? Sorry for intruding, I don't like to step on someone else's toes, and I don't unless the prior responses are quite old, I simply saw the email, and went to the article in question and started responding before realizing you were the owner.--S Philbrick(Talk) 17:03, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Your assistance please

I am watching Errol Morris's documentary on Joyce McKinney. I see that you deleted an article on this individual in 2008. Your deletion log entry merely says "(blp)".

Was there a discussion over whether this individual merited a stand-alone article? If so could you direct me to that discussion?

McKinney is the subject of several books, and a feature length documentary. It could be argued that the extensive press coverage, these books, the documentary, would be enough to establish her wikipedia notability. I'd like to see whether that argument was made in the deletion discussion, and I would like to read whatever counter-arguments were offered, to see if I found them convincing.

A year later another administrator made Joyce McKinney a redirect, and protected it from editing -- presumably out of respect for the original reasoning that you relied on when you deleted the original article.

If there was no discussion, if you deleted the article in response to a speedy tag, or on your sole judgment, what steps do you think would be in order to unprotect it? Geo Swan (talk) 12:31, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

It was deleted in accordance with the Proposed Deletion policy, after an editor believed the article did not meet Wikipedia's guidelines on notability, specifically stating "Has only one major acting role, no evidence of WP:NACTOR or WP:ANYBIO". I simply acted on the request after it remained un-disputed for a 5 day period. I have no personal opinion on the matter. Rjd0060 (talk) 11:33, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

No, it does not have one. That is not how the proposed deletion procedure works. Please review WP:PROD. That should answer the questions. Proposed Deletions do not require a "discussion". Rjd0060 (talk) 11:47, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Brian Treanor

Ryan.

I'm updating some pages (environmental virtue ethics) as well as creating some new ones (environmental hermeneutics, martin drenthen, and others to come) in order to flesh out wikipedia's content on these developing fields. In the course of doing so I was going to update/revive the page on "Brian Treanor," which you deleted some time ago due to notability issues. The person in question currently holds a named chair at a university (the Taylor Chair of Philosophy) and, in addition, has work cited in a number of third party books and articles, which seems to meet the criteria at this point. Comparing to a number of other pages, this seems sufficient, but I'm interested in your thoughts. Other pages I hope to develop or flesh out include links for organizations (International Association for Environmental Philosophy, International Society for Environmental Ethics), and scholars (David Wood, Ted Toadvine, and others).

Request to undelete "The Marching Virginians"

It was citied as being deleted for lack of 3rd party sources when in reality it has just as many sources as many other college marching bands. In fact a quick look at the "Highty-Tighties" page (Cadet band at VT) reveals they have fewer independent citations. The Marching Virginians (MVs) are highly active in the Blacksburg community and a large part of the sports traditions at Virginia Tech. Many of the traditions that were in the article are passed down within the group and thus have no citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skanetic (talk • contribs) 00:08, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Pandey Narmedeshwor Sahay, Renowned Bhojpuri Poet

Hi,

I removed the BLPPROD from Pandey Narmedeshwor Sahay, Renowned Bhojpuri Poet, since the article says he is dead. The WP:BLPPROD policy says that it is intended only to apply to "actual biographies of living people", and that in cases where there is any doubt of its applicability, another deletion policy should be used. I've always taken that to mean that if the article says the person is dead, BLPPROD should not be used. Since a prod was also previously contested, please take the article to AFD if you think it should be deleted. I agree that the article has problems since it is unsourced and the main contributor might have a conflict of interest, but it still needs to go to AFD to be deleted since that is the only deletion policy that is applicable. Also, it looks like you previously restored the article but forgot to restore the talk page. Since the article currently exists, the talk page should also probably be restored. Thanks. Calathan (talk) 15:48, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

I am aware of the BLPPROD policy. I overlooked the fact that the person was no longer living and just saw an article that is definitely not up to our standards. I don't care if the article stays or goes. At all. I was only carrying out the maintenance task of deletion per the request of whoever added the PROD and trying to ensure all biographies are sourced. I've restored the talk page as well. Rjd0060 (talk) 01:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

  • Thanks. It's my mistake. I thought they'd played in the top national league, not the top state league, so the prods make sense. I didn't review the prods before deletion.

Gene Abel

I would be grateful if you would at least review your recent deletion of Gene Abel - so far as I can judge (for reasons explained at more length at WP:Articles for deletion/Abel Assessment), the WP:PRODder had ulterior motives, and a GScholar search fairly clearly shows the subject as meeting WP:PROF#C1. Having not seen the article, though, I accept that the WP:BLP reasons given for the WP:PROD may, whatever the motive for them, have been sufficiently justified to outweigh the subject's notability - if, on review, you think this to be the case, then feel free either not to restore the article or to take it straight to AfD.

Edit warring

Hi. I think I should explain about the edit warring in the Swedish general election, 2014 article. It was all started by an user who kept pushing forward his own view of things in the article without consensus, constantly reverting others' edits and even adding an OR tag in order to be able to defend an "there is an OR tag and you can't remove it"-like argument. We brought the issue to the talk page, but in the meantime the user refused to undo his editions until consensus could be reached whether for the tag to be added or not. Furthermore, user Number 57 and myself posted links explaining how there were no violations of wikipedia policy for translating party names, and in case of doubt, even posted links where those party names where shown in English (yet that user kept maintaining the OR tag). The user in question did none of those, only defending what was a personal opinion. Respectable as it was, of course, but still merely a personal opinion. While I understand the rationale of sending me a warning, since this is how Wikipedia works, I don't believe it is fair to ask me to stop, seeing from the article talk page that I had already expressed my intention (and I did it twice) not to further engage in that edit warring, precisely because of the 3RR, not making any edit since I first expressed my will to do so. I hope this brings some light to the issue. Cheers. Impru20 (talk) 08:45, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Impru20. Edit warring is disruptive to the editing atmosphere and the page history. Edit warring over content is one thing but once it started to reverting a maintenance template, that was about all I needed to see. I stand by my warnings to all of you and suggest the use of discussion or pursuit of dispute resolution methods. Rjd0060 (talk) 16:50, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
The maintenance template was added by the user in question in the middle of the edit warring, without either consensus or strong argumentation behind it, with the sole purpose of preventing others from discussing the issue because of such a template's sole presence. I mean, should not the addition of such a tag in such a disputed situation require, at least, a previous consultation with the involved parties or some kind of consensus? I don't think it is fair that an user keeps reverting others' edits without consensus, turns the article into an edit warring because of users trying to revert his doings, then adds a maintenance tag on his own right to prevent others from intervening and then, when an administrator intervenes and orders the warring to stop, the tag is left there; without discussion ever taking place about the opportunity of the template being added or not.
I do recognize, however, my fault on entering that edit warring, something I should have refrained from doing earlier than I did. Cheers. Impru20 (talk) 17:06, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

The Generation Rescue, et al situation

Resolved

Look, I think all or most of us would be quite happy to leave the situation if OTRS administrators were dealing with it. But so far, all you've actually said is:

  1. That you are aware of it
  2. [In response to proposed restrictions on OTRS volunteers] That this was an isolated incident.

You haven't actually given any indication that, for instance, the OTRS admins have procedures in place for dealing with it, and will do so, or even - and I do think this would be enough - that you have talked to Mdann, and are sure the situation won't arise again.

It's giving the impression that the OTRS admins either have no means in place to deal with volunteer problems, or don't see this sort of behaviour as an issue. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:05, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

I've replied on the board. Rjd0060 (talk) 00:21, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. That should go a long way to calming the situation. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:46, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

It seems the same OTRS team member has made assertions of "super editor" status on other articles. See Suzannah Lipscomb and the related discussion on BLPN. I think this is further reason for emphasis and clarity at VTR. Just informing you, I reasonably assume the situations with the individual editor are being addressed through OTRS admin. As this involves the same editor I am also going to assume it is not a widespread issue within OTRS, but I believe close scrutiny should be applied in reviewing OTRS team agents edits by appropriate admins, with particular attention to claims of authority and lack disclosure of COI driven edits. I understand the outreach value of OTRS and the volume involved but quantity is not an excuse for policy violation etc. My desire is not to cause extra drama, but to ensure policy is adhered to. - - MrBill3 (talk) 04:56, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

That edit is over a month old. As I already stated, the issue with this editor has been addressed and policies/protocols, internal and external, have been clarified. Rjd0060 (talk) 05:03, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Is there a clear and explicit policy that state ANY edit driven/inspired/suggested by a party with a COI made by an OTRS team member MUST disclose such COI nature on the talk page of the article edited? I think this is absolutely and urgently needed. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter and for your contributions to the project. Sorry for bringing old stuff up, it just came to my attention. - - MrBill3 (talk) 05:08, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
It needs to be done. -- Brangifer (talk) 05:45, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Again, as far as OTRS goes, we're done with this issue. If the WP community wants to continue to discuss things, go right ahead. But we've done everything that we need to do to ensure our agents are aware of policies. You may wish to continue talking with the other two admins who have stepped in if you still have questions. Cheers. Rjd0060 (talk) 05:49, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Please point me to the OTRS policy on COI and the other involved admins. Thanks. - - MrBill3 (talk) 05:54, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Yes, please do. The discussions have shown that this type of stonewalling is creating a Streisand effect and not meeting concerns. We believe you when you say that you have been discussing these problems internally, but the community needs to see written measures which satisfy us that future problems will be prevented. We need more than assurances that "we are taking care of this", because they don't cut it. -- Brangifer (talk) 16:25, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Resolved

As I stated very, very clearly: I have supplied more than what was requested. If you wish to continue to beat this horse, you can do so with the assistance of some other OTRS admin. Both Keegan and Pajz have been commenting throughout. I am not prepared to continue the back-and-forth circular arguments about the same thing over and over again. I am not the only OTRS administrator and I have taken steps back from this situation several days ago. Good luck. Rjd0060 (talk) 18:15, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia

Hello, Would you please restore the original version of this page before vandalism. The page online is not the original one but a vandalised one. Thanks a lot. Vulson (talk) 12:53, 4 October 2014 (UTC)Vulson

Hi Vulson. The article Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia is not deleted, it is protected from editing due to abuse. If you cannot edit the page you must request your change by adding it to the articles talk page. I cannot make an edit for you. Rjd0060 (talk) 18:20, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not the author of vandalism. And the original page is a translation of the original French page, both vandalisez by two anonymous contibutors.Vulson (talk) 18:40, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Again, I cannot help you. You must file a note on the article talk page (click "talk" at the top of the article). Rjd0060 (talk) 18:45, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello, quick question

You answered a post I had on another page so I thought maybe you'd answer one on your own. :-)

I have a problem with an editor. I'm working on talking it out, although they are currently dismissive and not at all assuming good faith ("useless edits" and accusations of NPOV against me for no apparent reason) and I have had no response from them yet. They've even warned me about edit warring, although I could equally do the same to them... Anyway, my question is: how do I escalate a conflict? If I find a person is being protectionist/possessive of a page or otherwise intransigent in a way that isn't related to appropriate Wikipedia behavior, what is the next step? I'm a long-term user, since 2004, but my edits are normally not very confrontational: I fix wikilinks and spelling and grammar and formatting (cites, etc.) so honestly I don't know what I do next. Ogress smash! 21:36, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Ogress, I happened to see this and left them a note of my own. A lot of their recent behavior is contrary to a few policies so if they continue, we'll be having more discussions. WP:ANI would likely be a good place (if it escalates) given that there is more than one issue so a separate noticeboard would be inappropriate.
For other information on dispute resolution, see this page. I hope this helps. Rjd0060 (talk) 21:51, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
Oh! Thank you. I'm just hoping they are simply tired of pro/anti-Dorje Shugden trolls and were having a bad day, we've all been there. I had posted on their own page a hopefully polite laurel branch. Ogress smash! 21:54, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Rjd0060, I've been watching these articles and trying to be a neutral there, but I am seeing an ongoing pattern of WP:BAITING of VG by a bunch of people who appear to have single use accounts or even sockpuppet accounts (Notably Audrey37 for the latter) and are dogpling her with POV pushing all linked to the Western Shugden Society perspective. Ogress appears to be new to the party and may not realize the environment she has waded into. VG is probably feeling a little besieged and needs some support; she's up against some people who aren't playing fair. Montanabw(talk) 22:01, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Montanabw, unfortunately that does not matter when it comes to the civility, potential ownership and/or other issues I saw. As I said, I was not commenting on the content - but anybody would agree by looking at the history that things are not right. Ogress is surely not the only one at fault as it typically takes two to tango, but I still stand my my comment on their page. Ogress has the same dispute resolution options as everybody else. Rjd0060 (talk) 22:05, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
Just saying that in this case, we have about five tangoing, and some are trolls... FWIW. ;-) I'm trying to watch out there, but I have other drahmahz elsewhere too. Sometimes "ownership" is quality control. But I do think there was a point about piped links and I commented on it at VG's page. I think she trusts that I am not one of the trolls attempting to sanitize the article. (If you want some background, note the pointy RM request by yet another user at 14th Dalai Lama) Montanabw(talk) 22:11, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
Sure. :-) I briefly skimmed the situation prior but I realized the content issue itself was a bit too much for me to opine on. My only intention is to encourage more discussion and less banter. Thanks for the help. Rjd0060 (talk) 22:15, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Postano

Hi Ryan,

I work for TigerLogic and the product Postano which was marked as 'deleted / spam'. We're an actual product (www.postano.com) actively selling and we use best white hat only practices (nor am I aware of any grey or black hat in the past). We'd like to reopen the page. Would you please suggest what materials you would need to undelete us? thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotthuber (talk • contribs) 23:22, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

I'd appreciate your help on this, or if I'm requesting in the wrong way, I'd appreciate the feedback. Thank you.

Articles can only be kept on Wikipedia if they meet certain inclusion guidelines. They are quite specific to the topic area so you should probably start at WP:N. Rjd0060 (talk) 23:24, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Sofia Kenin page removal

You did removed "Sofia Kenin" page. The reason ; "this player is not notable by project standards; she has no Fed Cup or WTA main draw appearances, has not won any ITF tournaments above the $25,000 category, had no remarkable junior career (neither...)" It show how little , if nothing you know about tennis(Junior tennis) ... She is 15 years old !!! What are you talking about ??, "no Fed Cup or WTA main draw appearances"?? No remarkable junior career (neither...)????! . All information is on internet ! She is one of the best players in USA and in the world at her age .. Please, do your research before removing an article and leaving completely incompetent comments .. If it was done by applying criteria that is not related to 15 y.o. player, I would understand and am open to discuss it and defend my point of view.... Please, do respond to my message.. Thank you.

The IP range for 158.59.0.0

The IP range from 158.59.0.0/16 belongs to Arlington Public Schools, and these IPs are often used to vandalize pages, just look at the user page for this IP. I recommend blocking all IPs in this range, but allowing constructive edits if they sign in with a user account. 158.59.128.11 (talk) 15:08, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of page Will St Leger

Hi Ryan, Please review our deletion of page on Will St Leger [[5]] citing 'not notable'. I believe Wiki's notability criteria had been met and as I've worked on this page and intended to update page with recent independent articles and reviews' [[6]]

If notoabily was in doubt, discussion on talk page should be started before deletion.

Hi Diagear. Note that in accordance with the Proposed Deletion policy which was cited in the deletion log, an article is deleted without reason (other than nomination in the proposed deletion process) after a PROD tag remains in place after a week. I have no personal opinion on the article. I see that it was already restored. In accordance with the same policy, that is permitted upon simple request. Rjd0060 (talk) 19:32, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
