I see that you are in an edit war with an anon and as a an admin i don't think it is prudent for you to continue. I personally do not think the EU should be included as the G8+5 attend meetings and so do heads of other international organizations such as the WHO and the AU so unless we include all of them, which is in my opinion pointless. We cannot include just one. So shall we start this new debate or are there going to be a continued edit war between an anon and an admin.-- Lucy-marie 14:56, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't have the energy or inclination to deal with this right now, but this is bordering on WP:POINT and as you've previous experience of the G8 situation I figured you'd be the best person to speak to:
These edits were made removing unsourced additions to the G8 including the EU, I am not willing to revert all the edits as they were made under being bold. I am also willing for a wider debate on the member states etc in the G8 etc. I also dislike the way ONIH is refusing to talk directly to me and is deleting comments I have made on ONIH's talk page. I am willing to talk but am not willing to be abused and bullied by any user. I look forward to debating and not revertions and personal attacks.

In this edit, you removed the speedy deletion tag I placed and the hangon tag User:Vpdjuric placed, commenting that asserts notability and is cited. if notability is contested, please take to afd. I don't dispute that the software is notable, but I placed a "db-advert" tag because the article read like an advertisement. I'm starting to work with Vpdjuric on the article talk page about how to de-advert the article, and it's probably best that the deletion be declined and the tag be removed unless that effort fails, but I'm confused by your edit summary. Thanks. -- ArglebargleIV ( talk) 19:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
why delete Bernard Hart creator of biggest UK sporting brand Lonsdale (clothing) when Phil Knight (created US Nike) and Adolf Dassler (created Adidas) have articles. Hart is very noteable also for being Jewish as here in Germany Lonsdale have big right wing, I don't understand logic here ? Hans Detler ( talk) 20:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I have been creating these pages in line with Wikipedia:Jewish_Encyclopedia_topics. The Jewish Encyclopedia of 1913 is public domain and so no copyright applies. I'm pretty sure I put a tag to this effect in the Eva Bacharach page. I'll give it a rest for now, but the page should really be resurrected in some way, it's part of a project that WP asks for.-- Lopakhin ( talk) 19:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Like the writer below, I recently created an article titled "Hector Buitrago" that you deleted. Why was it deleted? Can you un-delete it?

I don't understand this. I'm fairly new here and I created an article - I spent about an hour on it. An editor flagged it for speedy deletion and I put a note explaining why I felt the article was justified. Now you have deleted it, without allowing me any more time to build on the work I had done and improve my article. Could I please have an explanation? The article was called Neilson Active Holidays

This is written like an advertisement. I'm sure you can recognise that as much as anyone. Would Template:Advert be more suitable than db-spam? Or maybe neither of them? Knowing this would help me make better decisions in the future. Sylosin ( T/ C) 23:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Chris,
I don't know why you deleted the article on Geany as "blatant advertising". The features listed on the original article are design goals set by the developers (few dependencies, fewer features, etc). I admit to using Geany as my editor of choice b/c its features suit my needs, but I hope to keep it on there as a link to the "list of text editors" entry. That is one of the most useful features for me on wikipedia (lists of video editors, list of audio editors, list of browswers, etc) as it lets me go through the choices and select the best one for me. I hope to keep the Geany article up as a similar service to other users. The information in the Geany article that was deleted was not much different than the many other articles on Wikipedia about editors such as gedit,scribes, etc.
If you describe what your issue was with the original article, I'll edit it if it seems reasonable in the context of the information contained in all other articles on text editors on wikipedia.

Hey .. I was in the process of getting all the links and photos together for this article. Meanwhile you deleted it within an hour of creation. I even put a comment saying "Please don't delete .. I'll have all the info added by the end of the day." What's up? Give people a chance to build their articles. Is wiki running out of server space or what?

Hi there, I saw you put my account on as indefinitely blocked for vandalism, but I've never been warned, much less made a vandal edit in the time I've been on Wikipedia. Perhaps this was in error? Wildthing61476 ( talk) 21:58, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Normally, I'd just revert it, but it's a bit weird since it's a "block template". Can you remove it for me? Jauerback ( talk) 21:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
You just deleted the Lee M. Hollander page I had just finished creating. Without any time for rebuttle, you deleted my article. Lee M.

See Advertising 2.0.

I object to your deletion of Fill or Bust! which I added less than an hour ago. I can find scads of articles on Wikipedia that detail games, their rules, and how they're played. Since I don't work for the Fill or Bust! people and don't sell their products, this is not spam. Arbitrarily deciding it is "not notable" is nothing more than an opinion -- not a sensible reason to delete an article. This is a piece of recent Americana that I and many friends and family played over the past several decades, that is not likely to be available for much longer as it's the only thing Bowman Games even does. Further, the reference to the Fill or Bust! Web site is a suitable reference source, since everything in the article is detailed there. Please reinstate this article for those who disagree with your assertion that is it "not notable." Indy ( talk) 21:04, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I had just created the citypixel page, someone put "written like advertisement" so I put hang on and you delete the same day. I don't understand, is that the way things work? Could you instead undelete and provide some constructive criticism? I based Citypixel on how Habbo Hotel was written - is there a double standard? How is what they've done different?
You are a bit quick with the deletions. I'd barely posted the hangon for Hotel Belvedere du Rayon Vert and it had gone for blatant advertising which it isn't. I haven't a clue how to respond properly so you'll have to read this and edit it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bloovee ( talk • contribs)

Chris, as you've responded to people after me I assume you've had time to read my post. Do other wikipedia postings, such as Habbo Hotel meet Wikipedia guidelines? I was using it as a template. If Habbo Hotel isn't a good template, could you please delete it as well for Blatent advertising and point me in the direction of a suitable frame of rererence?

I know you're super busy, but you're the genius who installed it, and I've got no idea what to change, lol. I'm so sorry to bug you with this, and it isn't urgent, but if you can figure out what needs to change, that would be spiffy. ~*Hugs*~ Ariel ♥ Gold 03:25, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Back atcha! I replied on my talk page, but figured I'd give you a "new messages" banner as well. I'm so glad you're doing well in your courses, and of course I miss you very much, and hope you'll have time for Wikipedia soon, but school must come first, and I understand that. Plus, you're never too far away via email, I hope. Ariel ♥ Gold 13:46, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Heey chris, could you please ban [[User:Vinxx]? He is constantly removing Hizbollah from targets of the war on terrorism and putting Israel instead for some reason. I have complained many times but he does nothing else than keep doing it for some reason. Kermanshahi 16:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello Chris, you are invited to join, Wikipedia:WikiProject Friesland. I have created a project page to get started. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 03:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris, you probably don't remember me but I am user ~~Kevin Kahle. I have started my own educational gun site and would like to know if Wikipedia can link to me and STAY linked. This would help my educational gun site's traffic. ~~Kevin Kahle

In this edit, you removed the speedy deletion tag I placed and the hangon tag User:Vpdjuric placed, commenting that asserts notability and is cited. if notability is contested, please take to afd. I don't dispute that the software is notable, but I placed a "db-advert" tag because the article read like an advertisement. I'm starting to work with Vpdjuric on the article talk page about how to de-advert the article, and it's probably best that the deletion be declined and the tag be removed unless that effort fails, but I'm confused by your edit summary. Thanks. -- ArglebargleIV ( talk) 19:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
why delete Bernard Hart creator of biggest UK sporting brand Lonsdale (clothing) when Phil Knight (created US Nike) and Adolf Dassler (created Adidas) have articles. Hart is very noteable also for being Jewish as here in Germany Lonsdale have big right wing, I don't understand logic here ? Hans Detler ( talk) 20:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I have been creating these pages in line with Wikipedia:Jewish_Encyclopedia_topics. The Jewish Encyclopedia of 1913 is public domain and so no copyright applies. I'm pretty sure I put a tag to this effect in the Eva Bacharach page. I'll give it a rest for now, but the page should really be resurrected in some way, it's part of a project that WP asks for.-- Lopakhin ( talk) 19:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Like the writer below, I recently created an article titled "Hector Buitrago" that you deleted. Why was it deleted? Can you un-delete it? I am writing from Hector Buitrago's record label and I will add citations and references as necessary. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nacional.records ( talk • contribs) 22:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand this. I'm fairly new here and I created an article - I spent about an hour on it. An editor flagged it for speedy deletion and I put a note explaining why I felt the article was justified. Now you have deleted it, without allowing me any more time to build on the work I had done and improve my article. Could I please have an explanation? The article was called Neilson Active Holidays

This is written like an advertisement. I'm sure you can recognise that as much as anyone. Would Template:Advert be more suitable than db-spam? Or maybe neither of them? Knowing this would help me make better decisions in the future. Sylosin ( T/ C) 23:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Chris,
I don't know why you deleted the article on Geany as "blatant advertising". The features listed on the original article are design goals set by the developers (few dependencies, fewer features, etc). I admit to using Geany as my editor of choice b/c its features suit my needs, but I hope to keep it on there as a link to the "list of text editors" entry. That is one of the most useful features for me on wikipedia (lists of video editors, list of audio editors, list of browswers, etc) as it lets me go through the choices and select the best one for me. I hope to keep the Geany article up as a similar service to other users. The information in the Geany article that was deleted was not much different than the many other articles on Wikipedia about editors such as gedit,scribes, etc.
If you describe what your issue was with the original article, I'll edit it if it seems reasonable in the context of the information contained in all other articles on text editors on wikipedia.

Hey .. I was in the process of getting all the links and photos together for this article. Meanwhile you deleted it within an hour of creation. I even put a comment saying "Please don't delete .. I'll have all the info added by the end of the day." What's up? Give people a chance to build their articles. Is wiki running out of server space or what?

You propose indef block. I am shaking with the completeness of your not discussing with me. John J.

Hi there, I saw you put my account on as indefinitely blocked for vandalism, but I've never been warned, much less made a vandal edit in the time I've been on Wikipedia. Perhaps this was in error? Wildthing61476 ( talk) 21:58, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Normally, I'd just revert it, but it's a bit weird since it's a "block template". Can you remove it for me? Jauerback ( talk) 21:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
You just deleted the Lee M. Hollander page I had just finished creating. Without any time for rebuttle, you deleted my article. Lee M. Hollander was a published author with the University of Texas Press, who was an authority on Nordic language and literature. If you took the time to refer to the reference, you would of noticed that! Please revert the page, thank you!! JanderVK ( talk) 19:00, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
See Advertising 2.0. The thing that clued me in is the opening line; Advertising 2.0 From Web 2.0 Jump to: navigation, search sounds like this was copied from another site, and that the site's search function was copied along by mistake. Thoughts? Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share? 19:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
I object to your deletion of Fill or Bust! which I added less than an hour ago. I can find scads of articles on Wikipedia that detail games, their rules, and how they're played. Since I don't work for the Fill or Bust! people and don't sell their products, this is not spam. Arbitrarily deciding it is "not notable" is nothing more than an opinion -- not a sensible reason to delete an article. This is a piece of recent Americana that I and many friends and family played over the past several decades, that is not likely to be available for much longer as it's the only thing Bowman Games even does. Further, the reference to the Fill or Bust! Web site is a suitable reference source, since everything in the article is detailed there. Please reinstate this article for those who disagree with your assertion that is it "not notable." Indy ( talk) 21:04, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Tyrannical Response Team. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. -- lifebaka ( Talk - Contribs) 00:47, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
I had just created the citypixel page, someone put "written like advertisement" so I put hang on and you delete the same day. I don't understand, is that the way things work? Could you instead undelete and provide some constructive criticism? I based Citypixel on how Habbo Hotel was written - is there a double standard? How is what they've done different?
You are a bit quick with the deletions. I'd barely posted the hangon for Hotel Belvedere du Rayon Vert and it had gone for blatant advertising which it isn't. I haven't a clue how to respond properly so you'll have to read this and edit it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bloovee ( talk • contribs)

Thanks, I must have cliked the wrong user link. Thanks for the help anyway.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dughlas ( talk • contribs)
Chris, as you've responded to people after me I assume you've had time to read my post. Do other wikipedia postings, such as Habbo Hotel meet Wikipedia guidelines? I was using it as a template. If Habbo Hotel isn't a good template, could you please delete it as well for Blatent advertising and point me in the direction of a suitable frame of rererence?

I believe that somebody made a mistake deleting Foodnet. It is a real non-profit organization that gets food from Lincoln, NE-based grocery stores that picks up food that cannot be sold but is still just fine to eat. 23:04, 26 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Egebers ( talk • contribs)
Greetings!
I believe you merged the article fire sale with another article. Somehow in the process, much of the text was lost. A section detailing "fire sales" in sports was lost... Do you know where I can find this text? Thanks! ask123 ( talk) 15:51, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
