I wonder if its not time to take this article and even the article on Daisaku Ikeda to a higher level in terms of moderation or supervision. Same goes for the articles on Nichiren and Nichiren Buddhism. With all due respect I try to keep a balanced view in my edits also when it comes to critical issues. I even refrained form editing on Soka Gakkai and Daisaku Ikeda in any major way lately but it just seems that some editors carry on with a white washing campaign and misinterpret alternative or critical views as an attack. As much as I like to contribute to Wikipedia in the English and German version the work in the English version especially makes one feel slightly frustrated.-- Catflap08 ( talk) 21:35, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
Okay thank you. Its good to know that a few have the articles in question on their watch list though. A few of those who were persistent in their behaviour have been silent for a while. Thanks!-- Catflap08 ( talk) 08:37, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I indicated on the comment for Jimmy the Groundhog that I had started with the source for the Wiarton Willie and was editing to replace Wiarton Willie information with the Jimmy the Groundhog information that I have acquired from reliable sources. I also indicated on the Jimmy the Groundhog talk page that I was currently editing the page to remove the Wiarton Willie page and add Jimmy the Groundhog information. But when I went to save the page - it had been deleted. Why did no one read the talk page and wait for me to finish adding the information that I said I was in the process of adding? Can you undelete the page so I can add the mentioned text? Thanks! Uncle uncle uncle 02:35, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
It has come to my attention that you are responsible for the removal of the page titled " SubtweetCat". Obviously this was done in error. Please correct your mistake, if possible. You are depriving readers, especially of the Tweep variety, of essential information.

Hello Amatulic,
Even though I respect your decision, I wonder what kind of criteria were you using in your decision. Basically you are saying that no corporation (unless it is a BIG name) can put a referral to their stuff. If I was writing about Microsoft there would not be an issue I guess. As regarding the Horizon Oil spill , I found my notes very humorous and it was underlining the community concern and involvement in the event. As regarding the "logo" page, I`m a professional logo designer with over 20 years of experience and thousands of brand identities designed. I find page about logo extremely useless. The only information it gives is about 3 guys big shots who got famous designers. No information about the actual purpose or different styles to give readers more information about the actual logo and the process. This page should be called "3 top logo designers". I have a lot of usefull information about the logo, but because I actually have a commercial source of information you will not use it. How come? Is Wikipedia only for amateurs? As soon as I put a reference to a professional source , you mark it as "advertisement". But when big companies do the same such as HP or IBM, you would trust them immediately. I don`t know how deeply you are involved in the editorial process but I have similar issue with "Logobee" page. That was removed for the reason of being "advertisement". I cant believe someone can simply do this without a good reason. Logobee existed for many years and the page created was caring very useful information about the company history, business owners, and criticism. Logobee is doing a lot of charity work, which has been noted in the referral. Besides if this material was considered as "advertisement", I see not much difference from pages like this Logoworks. If you let page like that exist but remove logobee page, you are acting extremely hypocritical. Logobee page , was a very useful source of information for Wikipedia users. I kindly ask that you restore the page. If you do feel that some of the material presented looks like "advertisement" I do not object to removing it from the page. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dodikbobik ( talk • contribs) 15:35, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
Amatulic, I really appretiate your commnets. Thank you. Can you please explain more about you reaction to my actions. I`ve found out about Logobee a long time ago, as being a logo designer myself I felt strange not to find any resources on Wikipedia about the company. When I posted the article I didn`t intend to "falsely" promote it. Right after the submission, the page got a warning "orphan page, needs more outbound links from Wikipedia pages". That was my only reaction - to seek appropriate pages where Logobee link would be appropriate. I still do not understand why the links I submitted on other pages appear inappropriate. As I explained my reasons above (adding it to the "logo" page). You are saying that these actions look suspicious, I say it is pretty normal stream of actions by the creator of the page. As for the notability requirements, I can easy provide more resources, but that was never given to me as a choice, before deletion. I would love to hear from the administrators that the content was OK, need more links. Because the reason that was given to me sounds like the material is bad "advertisemnt". In the wikipedia guidelines it is not saying how many or how good the "notability links" should be. So I assume it is open to the admin interpretation what is considered a sufficient requirement. I still get the feeling that the administration of Wikipedia is using bias opinion regarding resources submitted. Instead of looking at the real value of its content. As for the logoworks editor, I strongly believe that no one will be able to write an article about a company without some sort of knowledge or association. I`ve seen logobee actions and have deep respect to the work they do. As did the editor of logoworks that saw something that triggered him to write about them. -- Dodikbobik ( talk) 18:01, 5 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dodikbobik ( talk • contribs) 17:56, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
This brings more light to what you were saying and I start to see the picture you were getting. As it may seems like I was doing something wrong. This was not the case. Being relatively new to this, I was naively thinking that Wikipedia would appreciate some references to the external content. As in the case of "logo" page. I actually spent a lot of time researching logo design material and logobee site. At the time, the blog page seemed to have a very good collection of samples and material about logo design. So yes by assuming it would benefit the community I got labeled as the spammer. In regards to the Oil spill, it was also the case of me searching for some material from logobee that could be relevant to wiki pages. You have rightfully cough the misunderstanding and removed it. At the time I thought it would be relevant. Because I made this mistake by being novice and trying my best to find good material, I got labeled and my article got banned as well. Would you agree that my actions were harmful and in violation of Wikipedia rules and polices by trying my best? I understand that your role as the administrator is to catch inappropriate actions by users. However in this case, you reaction and request to remove the page caused me a deep shame. As regarding to where I got the logo file , it was a simple request from logobee to send me the file. If I was really trying to promote, or do something inappropriate like that I would have probably come up with a much more obvious case.I had spent a lot of time preparing this article, this is why it is so painful.-- Dodikbobik ( talk) 18:45, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

I see it got nominated for deletion. Honestly I`m not a paid editor, or an editor at all. I have several interests in life , and trying some new stuff. It is pretty puzzling to me right now how some stuff gets through and some don`t. The award I listed is no different from this one /info/en/?search=European_Design_Award. In fact there are many references to Wikipedia people. I assumed the role of wikipedia was the source of deep and global knowledge of any subject. I thought my new article (not about a particular company) would serve the purpose of educating people about the contest. There are many important people involved in the project that creates a bigger and deeper array of information about the person. I see some pattern here and it seems there is a prejudice towards entries that are involved in commercial activities. My (univer sitcom) page is still up, no one bothered. -- Dodikbobik ( talk) 21:13, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
Yes I understand. It is tough life. Being completely true, there are not that many articles that wouldn`t in one way or another promote something or be commercial. Even your article may be viewed as such. Good one by the way, and I see the references. By placing an article about a city or an instrument there is always an element of "advertisement". It is insane trying to separate this matter. I really thought I found something good and unique. I`m not directly involved with the awards or logobee. I`m simply related to the area and have a lot of knowledge about it. Now, you were being so kind and cooperative, may we start with reviewing loogbee page please? I`d love to finally get this one resolved, it took too much effort of getting there :) Thank you-- Dodikbobik ( talk) 21:39, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
I have addred more refference links. There are two references to Logobee from wikipedia pages, so it shouldn`t be considered an orphan. Please let me know how it looks. Thank you-- Dodikbobik ( talk) 21:52, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Amatulic - Right now the allegations based on the "Holy Hell" book are getting play in various media outlets in India.

Hi Amatulic,
I would like to re-create the page for Harry Maxwell. I noticed you deleted it in January 2014 - citing the reason that the page has re-appeared despite being similar to a previous version.
I would like to re-create the article with the focus on Maxwell as a New Media Journalist and former Reality TV personality, rather than the latter being the focus.
I believe the page is justified under: Widely recognized entertainment personalities and opinion makers, and I have enough sources from national media outlets to justify him as high profile: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Who_is_a_low_profile_individual
Do you think I should go ahead and submit the article for creation?

Hi there -- the CloudSOC page seemed to have been deleted as it was apparently self-promoting my three published works? I had only included those as references to give the founding member of the company some gravitas and weight, versus not referring to the works. The point of the article is to focus on DNS Analytics technology, which can be used to identify state-sponsored malware attacks (along with all those references that discuss work undertaken by McAfee, Symantec, Kaspersky Lab, and such). I would like to request that the article is considered for userfication at this time, and reintroduced once I have worked with others to improve the article. Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrismcnab ( talk • contribs) 23:20, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Explain why articles like Trac and YouTrack, which are essentially the same as Traq, just for a different question, qualify for Wikipedia, but Traq didn't.

Okay I am actually having an email discussion with Floquenbeam about this matter. As for my contributions with my old name on high-traffic pages (such as AIV or my old Wiki-friend Hdt83's talk page) before my name change, I think I can leave it for now as edits from seven years ago would be a lot more difficult to locate in those pages and there would be a lot less concerns.

Hello Amatulic. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Jimmie Jansson, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Player has played in the SHL (listed on Wikipedia:NHOCKEY/LA as one of the "fully professional" leagues) since the last deletion debate. Significant enough difference in player stature to not qualify under G4. Thank you. kelapstick( bainuu) 21:07, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because...
"Claude Puterflam founded the Gang Recording Studio in the heart of Paris" the studio is truly in the centre of Paris.
"the studio was specifically designed to have a relaxing feel to encourage the creativity of the artists" This is the case for any studio in the world, Studios NEED to HAVE a relaxing ambiance.
"remaining consistent with the requirements of professional recording environments." it seems obvious that professional studios focus on their work environment.
"which ensures perfect insulation" A perfect insulation has nothing promotional, it is the correct way to describe a physical behavior for wave propagation.
"high quality audio" It seems obvious for a studio.
Hopefully wikipedia will stop deleting this article, or at least explain in detail why or how this article is promotional. Please have a look at articles about notorious recording studios such as Electric Lady Studios or Ocean Way Recording and explain me why this one is so different.
Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicologique ( talk • contribs) 23:18, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that you made an edit to the article on the United States $2 bill. In particular, I'm curious about why you reverted a change that I made to the date for the obverse design.

I saw the warning for the Syrian Civil war template sorry about that did not notice the hours passed between the two edits.I did do two reverts but in two different days so must have missed the hours passed won't happen again.Even tough I would like to suggest to keep a little bit of tolerance on that template as there are many editors who edit the map with no sources or sources that are unreliable and outdated and there are fewer editors like me who tend to correct the mistakes.This guys usually do up to 10 edits per day so it takes a lot of editors to get the map back in order.

Let me just quote it.
Beliefs drive consumer behavior and as marketers stop relying on demographics they have typically looked at, and begin to monitor belief instead, they will recognize the value of Faith-Based Marketing.
Marketers need to be cognizant of the influence of the faith-based consumer on discretionary spending, media choices, and leisure activities.
You don’t need to look far to see that faith as a core value in many Americans’ lives cannot be understated.
And the demand for Faith-Based entertainment has not slowed down.
Entertainment industry analysts expect the faith-based trend is only going to continue to gain momentum.

Hello, I noticed you were an essential contributor on the Stevia page and was hoping you might have some feedback on some information I would like to include on the Stevia wiki page. I wanted to include some information regarding a fermentation technology that produces a range of steviol glycosides, using sustainable, low-cost carbohydrate feedstocks, which can be sourced from virtually anywhere on the planet. Do you think this information is appropriate and if so, would I be able to fit this under History/Use, which should probably have more subsections (History, Use, Chemistry).

Hi,
The PROD had already lapsed, so it makes little difference, practically speaking. The speedy deletion was at my own initiative, as the entire text of the article read "Metronaut is a Danish rock band from Copenhagen Denmark, formed in 2006. The band had their international radio debut on Radio Regen on April 15th 2014 at 22:41." I assume you believe that a international radio debut is an assertion of notability. I can respect that position, though I honestly disagree with it. I'm sure you understand that such a close question is a matter on which legitimate disagreement can exist. It was certainly not my intention to cause offense. I will amend the log. Best wishes, Xoloz ( talk) 21:31, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Dear Amatulić, I see you deleted the page " Amanda_Eliasch" for, I suppose, valid reason, since there are several people editing it, I wonder could it be given chance to be corrected first to meet Wikipedia guidelines instead deleting it at once? Is there any chance to bring it up and let me correct it, since I know there might be reasons for your deletion? I would really appreciate it! Greetings from Zagreb and in any case I do prefer Plavac in any form, whether it is Mali, Madirazza, Plenković or Bura. :-)
All best, Vice
Will try Granac if I stumble upon it! I tasted Californian Zinfandel / Grgich Hills which shares striking similarity to Plavac Mali.
Please restore the page if it's not a big deal, I'll refine it and make it factual, no idea whoever edited it what they did with it. The 'subject' is a friend of mine so I'll take care. Will edit next week when I get time, so if you can bring it up next week would be great! Thanks a lot!

Dear Amatulic,
I would like to say that I am truly sad and sorry about what happened. I just wanted to save all the information to not to lose them. I didn't know that by clicking button´save´they will automatically appear on the Wikipedia page. Today I was supposed to make necessary changes (e.g. deleting dispensable links as to the Facebook page), but sadly I found out that my page had already been deleted. I can assure you that I am familiarized with all the relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. According to this situation, I would be extremely grateful if you could reconsider your decision and bring back my article, so I could reedit it (according to all the terms of using Wikipedia). However, if this is not possible, I would like to write it one more time, but without any errors or inaccuracies which could disturb Wikipedia policy.
Thanking you in advance. If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
Yours sincerely,

Darouet’s comment,

2. A WP editor (in this case,

04:20, 12 May 2014 (UTC) 05:16, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Getting to the basic issue–
Darouet’s comment begs the question of whether WP is slandering the named scholar. It then goes on to say that WP is slandering “the scholar who might be the most well-known researcher on this subject.”
Some helpful background material, from Black’s Law Dictionary (2009):
and from AP Stylebook (2013):
So the issue here may be whether Darouet’s well-meant comment could perhaps undermine WP’s position in a libel suit. -- Dervorguilla ( talk) 05:29, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure how you missed the sockpuppetry involved in the creation of this article, but check out the history of User:Maitlandplace and User:Maitlandsplace, and note that the latter was blocked expressly for abuse of multiple accounts after picking up the business of the former account in creating articles surrounding a small group of musicians. Perhaps it was just that in my G5 I named the sockpuppeteer instead of the actual sockpuppet who created the article. If so, I can only say that I figured it was the sockpuppeteer I was supposed to identify, since the sockpuppet who wrote the article is apparent from the article's history. Anyway, I've resubmitted the article for G5, but this time I named the account that created the article, the one that has been blocked for abuse of multiple accounts. —Largo Plazo ( talk) 05:53, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Just a heads-up, I've nominated this for deletion as a copyvio of http://www.commoncause.in/nl/july-sep12/6.html which was modified "Wednesday, January 02, 2013 11:19:42 PM" according to my web browser. It is very likely that the text on the commoncause web page was written before July 2012.
On January 15, 2013 you deleted a version as a BLPPROD. If the deleted version is basically another copy of what is there now and what is on the commoncause page, AND if that page was added to Wikipedia before "January 02, 2013 11:19:42 PM," then the copyright-violation is no longer clear.
If the version you deleted is completely different and not an obvious non-starter, then consider restoring it and adding the sources listed in the copyvio version to the talk page as possible sources and re-start the BLPPROD clock. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs) 01:45, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

You reverted my edits to this article without understanding what is going on. If every First and Biggest is to be included in that article, then that article will become too big and probably an encyclopedia onto itself. The history of talkpage of that article clarifies the situation. For example I deleted the entry of "First to leave Gold standard" and the "Tallest building". If we have to include every first, eg. First car, First Republic, First paper currency, First diaper, First tap water, Tallest tree, Tallest antenna, Tallest ....
You know where it will go. It will be only a matter of time before that article will be flooded by people wanting to include their tallest, biggest and firstest. And then it will be the end of that article.

Hi,
Just wanted to know the reason behind the deletion of the page I have created for Mr. Avi Nir, the CEO of Keshet Media Group. Avi Nir, is a very well known TV executive, heading Israels Keshet Broadcasting for the past 12 years, Mako and Keshet International, the international production and distribution arm of Keshet Media Group. Nir, is in charge of very well known local and international shows like Hatufim (Prisoners of War) that has become Homeland, he is also executive producer on Homeland, which granted him a prime time emmy award. He was named Israeli cloture most influential person. As a leading international TV executive and since Keshet International expanded globally with shows like Rising Star, Allegiance, Homeland and many more and formed international production outposts this profile and the profile of Keshet Media Group and Keshet International are highly relevant to understand where many shows originated from and produced by, who this company is and who its top executives are . Nir also serves as Executive Producer on all the US productions that originated from Keshet (over 10)
we made sure we back up everything with relevant links to media sources.
Im a director at Keshet International and we updated the last profile. As a person who uses Wikipedia constantly as a reliable and trusted source of information- i understand and appreciate the importance of the quality of the information. im writing you, since i would like to upload an informative and respectable profile as i imagined we did I wouldn't like to upload our profiles again without getting the inputs from the person who deleted it first on the content and the updating form.
Your response would be highly appreciated
Many thanks in advance

Hey Amatulic, I'm taking Tomas' advice to seek out a fresh set of eyes about what is going on at the Merlot article. Essentially we have an editor who objects to any images that have a wine bottle involved--even the image to the left that was previously in the article. While I've been trying to work with him to encourage him to replace the images with better free-use alternatives, he prefers to just cast bad faith accusations of advertising and is now threatening to go on a POINTy deletion rampage through all of our wine articles. While there is another editor involved in the discussion that I feel is more amendable to working towards a middle ground in finding acceptable images, I'm becoming more concerned with the behavior of this other editor now that he feels "fueled" by the partial agreement with his POV by another editor.

Hello, Amatulic! Am I remembering correctly, that you were one of the people who dealt with the problem of alcohol related articles by David Hedlund? Sorry for my faulty memory; I can't remember who all contributed to fixing the "Alcohol (drug)" article, and I can't go back and look because the page has been deleted so its talk page is gone. If this is a subject of interest to you, I just discovered another one: Alcohol and health. It was called to my attention by a new addition someone added (which is also problematic). But then I noticed the section "Pregnancy and alcohol" which is horrible: it cites a single study instead of a review article, and mis-states the results of the one study it cites. Then I looked at the article more generally, noticed its strong anti-alcohol bias and general incoherence, and had a hunch it was David Hedlund's work. Sure enough, it turns out he contributed most of the content, much of which is copied from other articles. I'd appreciate it if you would take a look and maybe discuss on the article's talk page. The first question is: can the article be fixed, or would it be better to simply merge any salvageable content to some other article and then nuke it? Also, who else should I contact about this?

Hi Amatulic, you remove the link of ThinkingRock from the Getting Things Done article because it was external only, which I understand. Could you help me to re-instate the original wikipedia ThinkingRock page which was written by an independent author? An administrator deleted it as in his opinion, there were not enough external references. I would like now to add these references but I need the original page back. I have tried to contact that administrator without success.
ThinkingRock is a product similar to the ones listed as software implementations and I find it unfair that the other software are listed but not ThinkingRock. ThinkingRock is one of the rare implementation which is multi-platform with the security to be able to keep the data on desktop and not in the cloud.

Your input is greatly appreciated! Thank you! Minusminority ( talk) 22:33, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
All changes to the Coconut Oil article are discussed and justified in the talk section. Please explain why you reverted these corrections when there were errors in the existing piece and my corrections were based on scientific research data that was properly cited in the talk section. I removed the erroneous statements, so there was no place to cite in the article itself. Blonz ( talk) 19:04, 28 August 2014 (UTC) ER Blonz, Ph.D.
Hey, just giving you a head's up just in case. I've nominated ContentBridge for deletion but I'm kind of worried about the assertions the original article creator was making on the article's talk page. They're a paid editor but I think that their COI is getting in the way of their editing when it comes to this article. I'm not asking you to participate in either the talk page or the AfD, but I would like for you to kind of keep an eye on this editor for a while. I've tried talking to them about the various issues on the article but they essentially replied that the article should remain "as is" and that they didn't see why the sources were unusable to show notability or why (for example) that the staff member section would be seen as promotional and give the staff undue weight. That really, REALLY concerns me since that kind of makes me think that their COI is too great to really edit neutrally- especially since they were trying to say that someone being quoted in a Variety article shows notability for the company. (They argued that since he was asked, that means he is important, which means that the company is notable since they asked him because of the company.) Again, just asking you to keep an eye on things in general and at most, just try to give the editor some advice. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:52, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Amatulic, I came across your account while reviewing discussions on the Atkins diet Talk page. I've been working with editors to try to make improvements to the South Beach Diet article, but we seem to have come to an impasse. Since this is a similar topic and you say you enjoy commenting on content disagreements, I thought you might be interested in reviewing the discussions (there are a few) on the Talk page. As I've noted there, I am working on behalf of the South Beach Diet and I am avoiding making any edits to the article myself.
To give you a brief rundown of what's happened thus far, I began by preparing a new draft of the article, but after receiving feedback from other editors, I realized there was not consensus for that. Since then, the focus has been on improving individual sections, most recently with a discussion about the History and theory section. As you'll see, there is a difference of opinion concerning what information should be included in that section and, more broadly, the entire article. I'm reaching out to you and one other editor and I'm hoping you can take a look and weigh in if you have time. I realize that the discussion jumps around a bit, so I can try to clarify any threads that are difficult to follow. Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 14:41, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi again Amatulić, I wanted to thank you again for taking a look at the South Beach Diet discussion. I was wondering if you had any interest in taking a look at the version I had drafted? I would be curious to hear your thoughts about it compared to the current draft. I had proposed it as a replacement a few weeks ago, and received what I'm afraid I consider to be unconstructive comments from LaMona and another editor. I am of course working in tandem with South Beach Diet, however my goal first and foremost has been to write a better Wikipedia article, and I don't think my proposal has had a fair hearing yet. What do you think? Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 14:02, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Amatulic,
I wanted to create Sarah Àlainn but apparently it has already been deleted by you 6 months ago per A7 (which is comprehensible because she was not famous at that time). In light of her recent mainstream success in Japan I believe the article should be restored, what do you think? A quick search leads to http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/music/mnews/20141023-OYT8T50092.html http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/entame/entertainment/316197/ http://www.excite.co.jp/News/music/20140925/Musicman_artist39870.html I read Japanese, these are real articles, not sponsored. Yomiuri is the largest newspaper in Japan.

Hi Amatulic, I've finally returned to the South Beach Diet discussion page this afternoon, aiming for a fresh start. As you may recall, I had recently suggested an alternative draft for this article's History and theory section, however User:LaMona offered several objections to it. I tried to explain why I considered these reasons inapposite, but she disagreed, and no other editors joined. You then appeared in the subsequent thread, advising (correctly to my mind) that the article should not be split, however no more fruitful discussion emerged.
Today I am taking this new approach: rather than simply offering up my draft for consideration, I have provided a bulleted list of reasons why I believe something should be done about the History and theory section. If we can establish consensus that the current version does not live up to Wikipedia's standards—as I think is unmistakably the case—perhaps this could lead to a new discussion about how to fix it. Would you be willing to take a look and weigh in with your thoughts? Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 22:11, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello Amatulic, first of all sorry - that's my first experience with undeleting..
Article [ Supranational] has been deleted for two reasons:
1. This is not a notable beauty pageant. IMO not truth: Miss Supranational started in 2009 (an annual event). National preliminaries are conducted by their licence-holders (84 Grand Finale pageants in december 2014, 82 in 2013, 73 in 2012..)
July, 2013 Global Beauties (the leading independent resource for international beauty pageants) 15th Annual Global Beauties Awards: - Best Stage: WINNER -- Miss World, 2nd place -- Miss Supranational, 3rd place -- Miss Universe - Best Television Pageant Production: WINNER: Miss Supranational, 2nd place: Miss World, 3rd place: Miss Universe - Best Group of Candidates: WINNER: Miss World, 2nd place: Miss Universe, 3rd place: Miss Supranational - Pageant of the Year: WINNER -- Miss World, 2nd place -- Miss Universe, 3rd place -- Miss Supranational - Most watched show on television: WINNER -- Miss World, 2nd place -- Miss Universe, 3rd place -- Miss Supranational (90 countries, in all continents)
Google Trends: for "miss supranational" Google Trends: miss supranational vs. miss tourism international
2. A small number of references Yes, that's the truth. At the moment we have prepared about 30 links to other websites owned and operated by third parties (in english, including bbc, interfax, cnn and others)
IMO article about Miss Supranational should be on Wikipedia. But new article should be better then previous.

Hello Anachronist/Archives. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Amatulic - The hard block here is triggering an unblock request at User talk:Suvray.

Hello Amatulic. You may recall that User:Noormohammed satya had been indefinitely blocked for copyright violations and sockpuppetry, and that two months ago you unblocked him on the condition that he find a mentor. The user has continued to edit occasionally since his unblock, albeit without first securing a mentor, and perhaps as a consequence he has introduced copyright-infringing text into at least two articles. I notified him about these problems a couple times, most recently on 27 November, but there has been no response. As you were the unblocking admin, could I trouble you to have a look at the situation?

I wonder if its not time to take this article and even the article on Daisaku Ikeda to a higher level in terms of moderation or supervision. Same goes for the articles on Nichiren and Nichiren Buddhism. With all due respect I try to keep a balanced view in my edits also when it comes to critical issues. I even refrained form editing on Soka Gakkai and Daisaku Ikeda in any major way lately but it just seems that some editors carry on with a white washing campaign and misinterpret alternative or critical views as an attack.

Hello Amatulic,
Even though I respect your decision, I wonder what kind of criteria were you using in your decision. Basically you are saying that no corporation (unless it is a BIG name) can put a referral to their stuff. If I was writing about Microsoft there would not be an issue I guess. As regarding the Horizon Oil spill , I found my notes very humorous and it was underlining the community concern and involvement in the event. As regarding the "logo" page, I`m a professional logo designer with over 20 years of experience and thousands of brand identities designed. I find page about logo extremely useless. The only information it gives is about 3 guys big shots who got famous designers. No information about the actual purpose or different styles to give readers more information about the actual logo and the process. This page should be called "3 top logo designers". I have a lot of usefull information about the logo, but because I actually have a commercial source of information you will not use it. How come? Is Wikipedia only for amateurs? As soon as I put a reference to a professional source , you mark it as "advertisement". But when big companies do the same such as HP or IBM, you would trust them immediately. I don`t know how deeply you are involved in the editorial process but I have similar issue with "Logobee" page. That was removed for the reason of being "advertisement". I cant believe someone can simply do this without a good reason. Logobee existed for many years and the page created was caring very useful information about the company history, business owners, and criticism. Logobee is doing a lot of charity work, which has been noted in the referral. Besides if this material was considered as "advertisement", I see not much difference from pages like this Logoworks. If you let page like that exist but remove logobee page, you are acting extremely hypocritical. Logobee page , was a very useful source of information for Wikipedia users. I kindly ask that you restore the page. If you do feel that some of the material presented looks like "advertisement" I do not object to removing it from the page. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dodikbobik ( talk • contribs) 15:35, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
Amatulic, I really appretiate your commnets. Thank you. Can you please explain more about you reaction to my actions. I`ve found out about Logobee a long time ago, as being a logo designer myself I felt strange not to find any resources on Wikipedia about the company. When I posted the article I didn`t intend to "falsely" promote it. Right after the submission, the page got a warning "orphan page, needs more outbound links from Wikipedia pages". That was my only reaction - to seek appropriate pages where Logobee link would be appropriate. I still do not understand why the links I submitted on other pages appear inappropriate. As I explained my reasons above (adding it to the "logo" page). You are saying that these actions look suspicious, I say it is pretty normal stream of actions by the creator of the page. As for the notability requirements, I can easy provide more resources, but that was never given to me as a choice, before deletion. I would love to hear from the administrators that the content was OK, need more links. Because the reason that was given to me sounds like the material is bad "advertisemnt". In the wikipedia guidelines it is not saying how many or how good the "notability links" should be. So I assume it is open to the admin interpretation what is considered a sufficient requirement. I still get the feeling that the administration of Wikipedia is using bias opinion regarding resources submitted. Instead of looking at the real value of its content. As for the logoworks editor, I strongly believe that no one will be able to write an article about a company without some sort of knowledge or association. I`ve seen logobee actions and have deep respect to the work they do. As did the editor of logoworks that saw something that triggered him to write about them. -- Dodikbobik ( talk) 18:01, 5 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dodikbobik ( talk • contribs) 17:56, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
This brings more light to what you were saying and I start to see the picture you were getting. As it may seems like I was doing something wrong. This was not the case. Being relatively new to this, I was naively thinking that Wikipedia would appreciate some references to the external content. As in the case of "logo" page. I actually spent a lot of time researching logo design material and logobee site. At the time, the blog page seemed to have a very good collection of samples and material about logo design. So yes by assuming it would benefit the community I got labeled as the spammer. In regards to the Oil spill, it was also the case of me searching for some material from logobee that could be relevant to wiki pages. You have rightfully cough the misunderstanding and removed it. At the time I thought it would be relevant. Because I made this mistake by being novice and trying my best to find good material, I got labeled and my article got banned as well. Would you agree that my actions were harmful and in violation of Wikipedia rules and polices by trying my best? I understand that your role as the administrator is to catch inappropriate actions by users. However in this case, you reaction and request to remove the page caused me a deep shame. As regarding to where I got the logo file , it was a simple request from logobee to send me the file. If I was really trying to promote, or do something inappropriate like that I would have probably come up with a much more obvious case.I had spent a lot of time preparing this article, this is why it is so painful.-- Dodikbobik ( talk) 18:45, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

I see it got nominated for deletion. Honestly I`m not a paid editor, or an editor at all. I have several interests in life , and trying some new stuff. It is pretty puzzling to me right now how some stuff gets through and some don`t. The award I listed is no different from this one /info/en/?search=European_Design_Award. In fact there are many references to Wikipedia people. I assumed the role of wikipedia was the source of deep and global knowledge of any subject. I thought my new article (not about a particular company) would serve the purpose of educating people about the contest. There are many important people involved in the project that creates a bigger and deeper array of information about the person. I see some pattern here and it seems there is a prejudice towards entries that are involved in commercial activities. My (univer sitcom) page is still up, no one bothered. -- Dodikbobik ( talk) 21:13, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
Yes I understand. It is tough life. Being completely true, there are not that many articles that wouldn`t in one way or another promote something or be commercial. Even your article may be viewed as such. Good one by the way, and I see the references. By placing an article about a city or an instrument there is always an element of "advertisement". It is insane trying to separate this matter. I really thought I found something good and unique. I`m not directly involved with the awards or logobee. I`m simply related to the area and have a lot of knowledge about it. Now, you were being so kind and cooperative, may we start with reviewing loogbee page please? I`d love to finally get this one resolved, it took too much effort of getting there :) Thank you-- Dodikbobik ( talk) 21:39, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Amatulic,
I would like to re-create the page for Harry Maxwell. I noticed you deleted it in January 2014 - citing the reason that the page has re-appeared despite being similar to a previous version.
I would like to re-create the article with the focus on Maxwell as a New Media Journalist and former Reality TV personality, rather than the latter being the focus.
I believe the page is justified under: Widely recognized entertainment personalities and opinion makers, and I have enough sources from national media outlets to justify him as high profile: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Who_is_a_low_profile_individual
Do you think I should go ahead and submit the article for creation?

Hi there -- the CloudSOC page seemed to have been deleted as it was apparently self-promoting my three published works? I had only included those as references to give the founding member of the company some gravitas and weight, versus not referring to the works. The point of the article is to focus on DNS Analytics technology, which can be used to identify state-sponsored malware attacks (along with all those references that discuss work undertaken by McAfee, Symantec, Kaspersky Lab, and such). I would like to request that the article is considered for userfication at this time, and reintroduced once I have worked with others to improve the article.

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because...
"Claude Puterflam founded the Gang Recording Studio in the heart of Paris" the studio is truly in the centre of Paris.
"the studio was specifically designed to have a relaxing feel to encourage the creativity of the artists" This is the case for any studio in the world, Studios NEED to HAVE a relaxing ambiance.
"remaining consistent with the requirements of professional recording environments." it seems obvious that professional studios focus on their work environment.
"which ensures perfect insulation" A perfect insulation has nothing promotional, it is the correct way to describe a physical behavior for wave propagation.
"high quality audio" It seems obvious for a studio.
Hopefully wikipedia will stop deleting this article, or at least explain in detail why or how this article is promotional. Please have a look at articles about notorious recording studios such as Electric Lady Studios or Ocean Way Recording and explain me why this one is so different.

Let me just quote it.
Beliefs drive consumer behavior and as marketers stop relying on demographics they have typically looked at, and begin to monitor belief instead, they will recognize the value of Faith-Based Marketing.
Marketers need to be cognizant of the influence of the faith-based consumer on discretionary spending, media choices, and leisure activities.
You don’t need to look far to see that faith as a core value in many Americans’ lives cannot be understated.
And the demand for Faith-Based entertainment has not slowed down.
Entertainment industry analysts expect the faith-based trend is only going to continue to gain momentum.

Hi,
The PROD had already lapsed, so it makes little difference, practically speaking. The speedy deletion was at my own initiative, as the entire text of the article read "Metronaut is a Danish rock band from Copenhagen Denmark, formed in 2006. The band had their international radio debut on Radio Regen on April 15th 2014 at 22:41." I assume you believe that a international radio debut is an assertion of notability. I can respect that position, though I honestly disagree with it. I'm sure you understand that such a close question is a matter on which legitimate disagreement can exist. It was certainly not my intention to cause offense. I will amend the log. Best wishes, Xoloz ( talk) 21:31, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Dear Amatulic,
I would like to say that I am truly sad and sorry about what happened. I just wanted to save all the information to not to lose them. I didn't know that by clicking button´save´they will automatically appear on the Wikipedia page. Today I was supposed to make necessary changes (e.g. deleting dispensable links as to the Facebook page), but sadly I found out that my page had already been deleted. I can assure you that I am familiarized with all the relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. According to this situation, I would be extremely grateful if you could reconsider your decision and bring back my article, so I could reedit it (according to all the terms of using Wikipedia). However, if this is not possible, I would like to write it one more time, but without any errors or inaccuracies which could disturb Wikipedia policy.
Thanking you in advance. If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Getting to the basic issue–
Darouet’s comment begs the question of whether WP is slandering the named scholar. It then goes on to say that WP is slandering “the scholar who might be the most well-known researcher on this subject.”
Some helpful background material, from Black’s Law Dictionary (2009):
and from AP Stylebook (2013):
So the issue here may be whether Darouet’s well-meant comment could perhaps undermine WP’s position in a libel suit. -- Dervorguilla ( talk) 05:29, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Would it make sense to for an administrator to assist one or both users in understanding what the term “slander” means? -- Dervorguilla ( talk) 06:11, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Amatulic,
We just submitted an article for review and was rejected by you. You cited the notability rules as the grounds for rejection. However, all the references are notable, and the references are verifiable. One is the corpcounsel.com website, which is a reliable third party website and the other one is the United States Patent and Trademark Office's website. Can you elaborate on this? We have looked at many examples of other articles such as BSTZ for which Wikipedia has allowed submission. What is the difference between our submission and this other page? Thanks.

Hi Amatulic, you are the protecting admin for article Vulfpeck. It was created and deleted several times, deletion log. I have rewritten and expanded the article with new references. What is the process for recreating the article? Bammesk ( talk) 02:13, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
These were some that the uploader specifically mentions as being either, their image, or for which permissions were obtained. As with previous 'informal reviewing' an OTRS check is recommended, Although in the case of some items which may be PD-art (i.e a 17th century painting), they could be restored fairly quickly.
I would of course like to thank you in advance for doing this reviewing, and would appreciate you contacting the uploader directly to assist them in 'recovering' the images appropriately. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 08:27, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure how you missed the sockpuppetry involved in the creation of this article, but check out the history of User:Maitlandplace and User:Maitlandsplace, and note that the latter was blocked expressly for abuse of multiple accounts after picking up the business of the former account in creating articles surrounding a small group of musicians. Perhaps it was just that in my G5 I named the sockpuppeteer instead of the actual sockpuppet who created the article. If so, I can only say that I figured it was the sockpuppeteer I was supposed to identify, since the sockpuppet who wrote the article is apparent from the article's history. Anyway, I've resubmitted the article for G5, but this time I named the account that created the article, the one that has been blocked for abuse of multiple accounts. —Largo Plazo ( talk) 05:53, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

The company is notable per the sources, and I'd like to examine the article in hopes to improve it. I have notified User:INeverCry on their talk page and it was archived.

I wish to request that you re-examine the speedy deletion of Afusat Saliu.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Afusat Saliu. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. PatGallacher ( talk) 18:20, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Just a heads-up, I've nominated this for deletion as a copyvio of http://www.commoncause.in/nl/july-sep12/6.html which was modified "Wednesday, January 02, 2013 11:19:42 PM" according to my web browser. It is very likely that the text on the commoncause web page was written before July 2012.
On January 15, 2013 you deleted a version as a BLPPROD. If the deleted version is basically another copy of what is there now and what is on the commoncause page, AND if that page was added to Wikipedia before "January 02, 2013 11:19:42 PM," then the copyright-violation is no longer clear.
If the version you deleted is completely different and not an obvious non-starter, then consider restoring it and adding the sources listed in the copyvio version to the talk page as possible sources and re-start the BLPPROD clock. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs) 01:45, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

You reverted my edits to this article without understanding what is going on. If every First and Biggest is to be included in that article, then that article will become too big and probably an encyclopedia onto itself. The history of talkpage of that article clarifies the situation. For example I deleted the entry of "First to leave Gold standard" and the "Tallest building". If we have to include every first, eg. First car, First Republic, First paper currency, First diaper, First tap water, Tallest tree, Tallest antenna, Tallest ....
You know where it will go. It will be only a matter of time before that article will be flooded by people wanting to include their tallest, biggest and firstest. And then it will be the end of that article.

Hi Amatulic,
Thanks for contacting me about the removal of the external link on the page Elliott Wave principle.
When I first came across this page, I went to the first external link for additional reading, but as you can see, it provides very little information. Obviously I was disappointed and found a better page from a site that I frequent. If you think it looks inappropriate, you can add a better page yourself and I'll be happy to read it.

I came back to this AfD to reply to the nom, who didn't seem to understand my last comment. Instead, I found your close. Do you agree that WP:N is a test to determine if an article should be standalone, and that in the case of an article split, non-notability means recombining the two parts? And that this is an issue for either a bold edit, or for the content contributors to discuss on one of the two talk pages? Given that there is no theoretical case for deletion on notability grounds here, was this a WP:IAR close? Unscintillating ( talk) 02:16, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
Just wanted to know the reason behind the deletion of the page I have created for Mr. Avi Nir, the CEO of Keshet Media Group. Avi Nir, is a very well known TV executive, heading Israels Keshet Broadcasting for the past 12 years, Mako and Keshet International, the international production and distribution arm of Keshet Media Group. Nir, is in charge of very well known local and international shows like Hatufim (Prisoners of War) that has become Homeland, he is also executive producer on Homeland, which granted him a prime time emmy award. He was named Israeli cloture most influential person. As a leading international TV executive and since Keshet International expanded globally with shows like Rising Star, Allegiance, Homeland and many more and formed international production outposts this profile and the profile of Keshet Media Group and Keshet International are highly relevant to understand where many shows originated from and produced by, who this company is and who its top executives are . Nir also serves as Executive Producer on all the US productions that originated from Keshet (over 10)
we made sure we back up everything with relevant links to media sources.
Im a director at Keshet International and we updated the last profile. As a person who uses Wikipedia constantly as a reliable and trusted source of information- i understand and appreciate the importance of the quality of the information. im writing you, since i would like to upload an informative and respectable profile as i imagined we did I wouldn't like to upload our profiles again without getting the inputs from the person who deleted it first on the content and the updating form.
Your response would be highly appreciated
Many thanks in advance

I think you misunderstood it that he had not arrived anything. His name is already associated with so many pages with others in Wikipedia itself.

Hey Amatulic, I'm taking Tomas' advice to seek out a fresh set of eyes about what is going on at the Merlot article. Essentially we have an editor who objects to any images that have a wine bottle involved--even the image to the left that was previously in the article. While I've been trying to work with him to encourage him to replace the images with better free-use alternatives, he prefers to just cast bad faith accusations of advertising and is now threatening to go on a POINTy deletion rampage through all of our wine articles. While there is another editor involved in the discussion that I feel is more amendable to working towards a middle ground in finding acceptable images, I'm becoming more concerned with the behavior of this other editor now that he feels "fueled" by the partial agreement with his POV by another editor.

Hello, Amatulic! Am I remembering correctly, that you were one of the people who dealt with the problem of alcohol related articles by David Hedlund? Sorry for my faulty memory; I can't remember who all contributed to fixing the "Alcohol (drug)" article, and I can't go back and look because the page has been deleted so its talk page is gone. If this is a subject of interest to you, I just discovered another one: Alcohol and health. It was called to my attention by a new addition someone added (which is also problematic). But then I noticed the section "Pregnancy and alcohol" which is horrible: it cites a single study instead of a review article, and mis-states the results of the one study it cites. Then I looked at the article more generally, noticed its strong anti-alcohol bias and general incoherence, and had a hunch it was David Hedlund's work. Sure enough, it turns out he contributed most of the content, much of which is copied from other articles. I'd appreciate it if you would take a look and maybe discuss on the article's talk page. The first question is: can the article be fixed, or would it be better to simply merge any salvageable content to some other article and then nuke it? Also, who else should I contact about this? Thanks for any comments! -- MelanieN ( talk) 18:48, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Amatulic, you remove the link of ThinkingRock from the Getting Things Done article because it was external only, which I understand. Could you help me to re-instate the original wikipedia ThinkingRock page which was written by an independent author? An administrator deleted it as in his opinion, there were not enough external references. I would like now to add these references but I need the original page back. I have tried to contact that administrator without success.
ThinkingRock is a product similar to the ones listed as software implementations and I find it unfair that the other software are listed but not ThinkingRock. ThinkingRock is one of the rare implementation which is multi-platform with the security to be able to keep the data on desktop and not in the cloud.

Hey, just giving you a head's up just in case. I've nominated ContentBridge for deletion but I'm kind of worried about the assertions the original article creator was making on the article's talk page. They're a paid editor but I think that their COI is getting in the way of their editing when it comes to this article. I'm not asking you to participate in either the talk page or the AfD, but I would like for you to kind of keep an eye on this editor for a while. I've tried talking to them about the various issues on the article but they essentially replied that the article should remain "as is" and that they didn't see why the sources were unusable to show notability or why (for example) that the staff member section would be seen as promotional and give the staff undue weight. That really, REALLY concerns me since that kind of makes me think that their COI is too great to really edit neutrally- especially since they were trying to say that someone being quoted in a Variety article shows notability for the company. (They argued that since he was asked, that means he is important, which means that the company is notable since they asked him because of the company.) Again, just asking you to keep an eye on things in general and at most, just try to give the editor some advice. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:52, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Amatulic, I came across your account while reviewing discussions on the Atkins diet Talk page. I've been working with editors to try to make improvements to the South Beach Diet article, but we seem to have come to an impasse. Since this is a similar topic and you say you enjoy commenting on content disagreements, I thought you might be interested in reviewing the discussions (there are a few) on the Talk page. As I've noted there, I am working on behalf of the South Beach Diet and I am avoiding making any edits to the article myself.
To give you a brief rundown of what's happened thus far, I began by preparing a new draft of the article, but after receiving feedback from other editors, I realized there was not consensus for that. Since then, the focus has been on improving individual sections, most recently with a discussion about the History and theory section. As you'll see, there is a difference of opinion concerning what information should be included in that section and, more broadly, the entire article. I'm reaching out to you and one other editor and I'm hoping you can take a look and weigh in if you have time. I realize that the discussion jumps around a bit, so I can try to clarify any threads that are difficult to follow. Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 14:41, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Q1) So what do I have to do now. Do i follwo some sort of procedure to remove it from meta blacklist now? Q2) Another question, I want to blacklist this website: al-islam.org, i see some spam from it and it is also the home page of a fringe islamic sect called the Ahmadiyyah, kind of like Nation of Islam. They have a lot of fringe views their and I have seen it in a number of external links-- Misconceptions2 ( talk) 20:16, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi again Amatulić, I wanted to thank you again for taking a look at the South Beach Diet discussion. I was wondering if you had any interest in taking a look at the version I had drafted? I would be curious to hear your thoughts about it compared to the current draft. I had proposed it as a replacement a few weeks ago, and received what I'm afraid I consider to be unconstructive comments from LaMona and another editor. I am of course working in tandem with South Beach Diet, however my goal first and foremost has been to write a better Wikipedia article, and I don't think my proposal has had a fair hearing yet. What do you think? Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 14:02, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi Amatulic,
I been trying to request my deleted page be sent back to me for editing 'ProMetic Life Sciences' and had not luck so far. Can send to me or tell me who I need to contact please?
Thank you

It looks like you've been pretty busy with administrative stuff. I have a more polished proposal for the Monaco section on the Robert Eringer Talk page if you are still interested/can find the time for that article. Thanks! 009o9 ( talk) 04:11, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
I've revisited proposal for the Monaco section, made some clarifications and tried to remove some wordiness. Can you have a look when you get a chance? 009o9 ( talk) 14:59, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
By no means am I trying to rush you, just informing you that I have a clean copy at Talk:Robert_Eringer#Monaco_proposed_III, I've been fussing around with so many clarifications that I'd best provide a clean copy. Hopefully, it will be just a trivial matter of a read-through at your convenience. Thanks! 009o9 ( talk) 18:30, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi Amatulić, Thanks for reviewing my article! I know 3D Hubs well, but I don't have any conflict of interest with them. I'm totallly new to wikipedia (as an editor), I just know some html and I copied the format of the page from wikis of other similar companies. Sorry if some parts seemed overly enthusiastic, hope it's okay now. Cheers, ( User talk:Kisg24 09:35, 17 October 2014)
Considering the number of times this has been deleted and recreated, would you consider salting it, as well as the correct title Nadya Fatira? Thanks. G S Palmer ( talk • contribs) 16:26, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
![]() | On 21 October 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Clarence N. Hickman, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Clarence N. Hickman, a developer of the bazooka, was also the "Father of Scientific Archery", and is an AMICA Hall-of-Famer for his improvements to player pianos? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Clarence N. Hickman. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hi Amatulic,
I wanted to create Sarah Àlainn but apparently it has already been deleted by you 6 months ago per A7 (which is comprehensible because she was not famous at that time). In light of her recent mainstream success in Japan I believe the article should be restored, what do you think? A quick search leads to http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/music/mnews/20141023-OYT8T50092.html http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/entame/entertainment/316197/ http://www.excite.co.jp/News/music/20140925/Musicman_artist39870.html I read Japanese, these are real articles, not sponsored. Yomiuri is the largest newspaper in Japan.
Thanks! Waiting for your feedback :-) Nicolas1981 ( talk) 14:45, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi Amatulic, I've finally returned to the South Beach Diet discussion page this afternoon, aiming for a fresh start. As you may recall, I had recently suggested an alternative draft for this article's History and theory section, however User:LaMona offered several objections to it. I tried to explain why I considered these reasons inapposite, but she disagreed, and no other editors joined. You then appeared in the subsequent thread, advising (correctly to my mind) that the article should not be split, however no more fruitful discussion emerged.
Today I am taking this new approach: rather than simply offering up my draft for consideration, I have provided a bulleted list of reasons why I believe something should be done about the History and theory section. If we can establish consensus that the current version does not live up to Wikipedia's standards—as I think is unmistakably the case—perhaps this could lead to a new discussion about how to fix it. Would you be willing to take a look and weigh in with your thoughts? Cheers, WWB Too ( Talk · COI) 22:11, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello Amatulic, first of all sorry - that's my first experience with undeleting..
Article [ Supranational] has been deleted for two reasons:
1. This is not a notable beauty pageant. IMO not truth: Miss Supranational started in 2009 (an annual event). National preliminaries are conducted by their licence-holders (84 Grand Finale pageants in december 2014, 82 in 2013, 73 in 2012..)
July, 2013 Global Beauties (the leading independent resource for international beauty pageants) 15th Annual Global Beauties Awards: - Best Stage: WINNER -- Miss World, 2nd place -- Miss Supranational, 3rd place -- Miss Universe - Best Television Pageant Production: WINNER: Miss Supranational, 2nd place: Miss World, 3rd place: Miss Universe - Best Group of Candidates: WINNER: Miss World, 2nd place: Miss Universe, 3rd place: Miss Supranational - Pageant of the Year: WINNER -- Miss World, 2nd place -- Miss Universe, 3rd place -- Miss Supranational - Most watched show on television: WINNER -- Miss World, 2nd place -- Miss Universe, 3rd place -- Miss Supranational (90 countries, in all continents)
Google Trends: for "miss supranational" Google Trends: miss supranational vs. miss tourism international
2. A small number of references Yes, that's the truth. At the moment we have prepared about 30 links to other websites owned and operated by third parties (in english, including bbc, interfax, cnn and others)
IMO article about Miss Supranational should be on Wikipedia. But new article should be better then previous.
I'd be grateful for any help or guidance.. Ickyflix ( talk) 09:37, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi I've tried to reply to you about your offer of help about the undeletion of Sarah J Price and the log's been archived so it will not let me, so in reply Yes football writer, musician, and comedian is all the same person, All the work is basically a form of writing and acting, but in different careers this can now be made clear now with links to articles/interviews that are accompanied by photographs and youtube clips of performances that clearly show the same person, if the article could be restored to my user space, that would be great, it would give me a good place to start again then i can run it through DRV as suggested thanks Jasperxj ( talk) 05:21, 31 October 2014 (UTC) ' (。◕‿◕。)]]

Two more appeared, see also User talk:JohnCD#Prajyot Mahajan, yet again. I have blocked and tagged per DUCK, as Ponyo suggested last time, and marked the SPI closed so as not to clutter up the list; but you might give it a glance as a second pair of eyes, to make sure I am not being unreasonable.

Hello. I am not the one who deleted the speedy deletion nomination from the Taya Smith page. And also, I do not have any association with the subjects I have made articles about. 588userd ( talk) 07:14, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
Hello Anachronist/Archives. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Oblivion Machine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Союз. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Amatulic - The hard block here is triggering an unblock request at User talk:Suvray. I can see the rather overt volume of spam coming from that range using multiple IPs, multiple domains, and multiple targeted articles. So, no question about the range block. Does it need to be a hard block? Can we modify to anon-only, or should we do an IP immunity on Suvray? I really detest IP immunity, but it may be the last resort here. He seems to be completely unrelated and has a productive track record. Thoughts? Kuru (talk) 13:40, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

I thank you for that undeletion request. I was amazingly underwhelmed by the last attempt at this article, a clear lack of research on this by others.

Hello Amatulic. You may recall that User:Noormohammed satya had been indefinitely blocked for copyright violations and sockpuppetry, and that two months ago you unblocked him on the condition that he find a mentor. The user has continued to edit occasionally since his unblock, albeit without first securing a mentor, and perhaps as a consequence he has introduced copyright-infringing text into at least two articles. I notified him about these problems a couple times, most recently on 27 November, but there has been no response. As you were the unblocking admin, could I trouble you to have a look at the situation? The user was already the subject of a fairly extensive Contributor Copyright Investigation back in 2012 and we're not keen on the prospect of having to reopen it. — Psychonaut ( talk) 19:06, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, you speedy deleted Devil Dub, which existed for more than half a decade, under A9 ("Music recording by redlinked artist and no indication of importance or significance"). Well, at least four of the musicians on the record have articles. They are (former) members of bands such as Guns N' Roses, Primus and Praxis. Also, the album has a bunch of positive reviews, showing its significance. So why speedy deletion and not at least AfD? 93.222.73.139 ( talk) 18:32, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
