Thank you for the welcome message! I know it may sound a bit ... well ... unorthodox for us to be editing information on our Wiki about ourselves ... but we're striving to maintain accuracy on the site. We recently looked at the Wikipedia page as we were exploring what all was out there in cyberspace that talked about or mentioned us. We're hoping to make some clarifications, some additions and subtractions, and all-around make the information on the page look better. I'm working hard to not pitch anything (no pun intended) on our team's Wikipedia page, and we view this as a place for factual information only. We invite you to please take a look at the edits we make and moderate them somewhat, if that would make our edits more appropriate for this forum.
Regarding the addition of links to our facebook and twitter sites, as I understand the exemptions for these otherwise less-than-appropriate links, these are sites controlled by our organization completely. Wouldn't they be OK, then, for inclusion at the bottom of our Wikipedia page since it invites the reader to see what the organization is saying about itself?
Otherwise, the historical data we're changing comes directly from the official Texas League Media Guide, which unfortunately is not in a digital format. That, and team archives. We're trying to ensure this information - particularly historical data - is completely accurate. We're also hoping to include items of interest, such as single-game ticket prices and a current stadium seating chart.
Please let me know if this is OK! Thank you so much for your attention! Samissions ( talk) 19:35, 18 January 2010 (UTC)samissions

Hello there. This message is about an article you locked in which only administrators can edit until further notice. I'm talking about the article for the upcoming new channel
Disney XD. Because it's been protected, nobody but admins can add that
Static Shock will be on the new channel. I saw that on a two-minute promo for the new channel on YouTube. Could you put in that Static Shock will be on the new channel, please?

I noticed recently that you placed semi-protection on the page for Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap. Please could I ask you to do the same for the page And Then There Were None? I've been contributing Christie edits to this page for some two years now and barely a day goes by when some form of vandalism doesn't occur. The most recent case deleted the first edition image, added or changed data that was incorrect and took the page through eighteen differing versions from the "correct" one.-- Jtomlin1uk ( talk) 20:08, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I wish to calmly inquire as to the reason behind the deletion of the YOUNG-TT page that served as an information medium for our members and prospective members alike. As all content about our humble Caribbean-based group was factual and in line with the terms and preferences of Wikipedia, I am at ends as to the possible purpose for its deletion.

Hi, I'm not an admin, nor do I have a lot of experience when it comes to blocking policy, so it is with a degree of deference that I ask the following question: why so lenient with Nordicwarrior? He perpetrated repeated (if short lived) vandalism including profanities, ethnic slurs, personal attacks and revelation of someone else's personal details.

A while ago, (7 August 2007) you deleted the article Hank Green. The consensus in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hank Green was that Hank Green could not be considered a "notable" person. Quickly, I'd like to refute this and have this matter resolved. Hank Green is easily considered notable, following the guidelines under WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC
WP:BIO
Satisfying Basic Criteria
Hank Green has had over twenty articles written about him and several of his projects (Brotherhood 2.0, Project for Awesome, and Ecogeek). To name a few:
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]
[6]
[7]
(A list of articles mentioning Hank Green has helpfully been provided by
JoinTheMadVender, at
User:JoinTheMadVender/Sandbox#References that you can easily peruse for further examples.)
This easily satisfies the basic criteria (he has been "the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent and independent of the subject",
Wikipedia:BIO#Basic_criteria).
Entertainers Hank Green can be considered to have "a large fan base or a significant 'cult' following." Hank Green's channels on YouTube have both had thousands of views and subscribers ("theecogeek": subscribers, 3795; channel views, 11058. "vlogbrothers": subscribers, 84936). His and his brothers videos have collectively been watched over 20 million times. There are over 20, 000 members of the site Nerdfighters, which Hank Green started for fans. There are over 39, 500 members of his other fansite, My Pants.
Creative professionals Hank Green is both an editor and a journalist. He is the editor (as well as the sole creator) of the extremely popular environmentalist site "EcoGeek", which was heralded as "the leading blog on green science and technology" by The Nature Conservancy. He also writes environmentally-friendly articles on EcoGeek (along with the other long-term writers), which are among the most viewed on the site, that broadcast information about all things green. He also, often times, wrote articles for Mental floss.
WP:MUSIC
Hank Green can also be considered notable as a musician. He satisfies qualification #2 on Wikipedia:MUSIC#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles ("has had a charted single or album on any national music chart") by having his album "So Jokes" clock in at #22 in Top Revenue Sales on the Billboard. (Cited here: Billboard.com)
So, please consider undeleting
Hank Green. Below is my reasoning as stated in
Talk:Hank_Green, reprinted for your convenience, for the return of the article.
Call for the Reopening for the Hank Green Page
I believe that there is sufficient notable information on Hank Green to warrant the reopening of his page. I still don't fully understand why, if the information was insufficient, Hank Green's page wasn't simply marked as "stub". The redirection to "John Green (author)" is invaluable to those looking to learn more about Hank Green, because the article only mentions Hank Green in swift passing.
It seems Hank Green's standalone "notability" has also been called into question. First, I will mention his incredibly large following on the video sharing website "YouTube" (which, by the way, is not as isolated a community as some believe). It is unfair to understate the value of his "Project for Awesome" (P4A), which encourages people to spread the word on worthy charities through the internet. This project has encouraged donations to hundreds of charities.
Hank Green is the sole founder of EcoGeek, which (along with its sister companies Carectomy, Envirovore, and Envirowonk) is a large information blog, filled with articles on all things environmentally-friendly. It is "the leading blog on green science and technology", even, according to The Nature Conservancy. EcoGeek has been nominated for a plethora of awards as well. Also, notably, he was a writer for Mental_floss. This is an accomplishment within itself.
These are all things that Hank Green had achieved as of 20 December 2008, and yet, it seems not to be accepted enough to warrant a Wikipedia page (not even a "stub"!), which is, I think, outrageous. Fortunately, he has achieved much more, as of 28 May 2009. So, in addition to the following list:
- Conceiver of the "Project for Awesome", a project dedicated to informing individuals of charities in need of financial support
- Founder, runner, and editor of EcoGeek.com, which has been heralded as the "leading blog on green science and technology"
- Writer for the popular magazine Mental floss
- Co-initiator of the Brotherhood 2.0 Project, which remain among of the most viewed videos of all time on YouTube
- One of several writers for EcoGeek.com
Hank Green has accomplished even more. He has now co-founded a record company, DFTBA Records, which has released his album "So Jokes". "So Jokes" entered the Billboard's Top 20 in February 2009 for Top Revenue Generating albums sold through paid downloads and paid streams. He has been on tour, the Tour de Nerdfighters, and has had several concerts. He was released music videos for his singles "It All Makes Sense At The End" and "DFTBA".
And let's go back to the whole "DFTBA Records" thing for a moment: the record company has signed more than fifteen artists to its label (including Chameleon Circuit, Dave Days, Julia Nunes, Alan Lastufka, Tom Milsom, and Charlie McDonnell). It has its own forum for discussion of its artists (which is more than I can say for many, much more prominent, record companies), a radio show, and a "street team".
So, he's a record producer, singer/songwriter, environmentalist, and vlogger? Well, that seems pretty "notable" to me.
Thank you for reading this, and I hope this can be resolved. (And sorry this is so lengthy! I'm a talker. :P)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Theodore Kowal. 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. Stifle ( talk) 09:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
I know this is probably not the most important article here at Wiki, but I find myself in an edit battle with a user named Zero_Requiem who continues to edit the Lelouch Lamperouge entry (for the Japanese show Code Geass) by changing the meaning of a November 2008 interview with the director of the show (Goro Taniguichi) in question in the Japanese Magazine Newtype which was repeated in a January 2009 article (in the Japanese magazine Animedia) by the company which made the show, Sunrise.
I've given links to the pages in the Japanese magazine [8] [9] [10], I've given verifiable links to the Anime News Network (a reliable source) printing of the official statement (by the company who owns the show; Sunrise) on this subject which contradicts the other evidence presented in the wikipedia entry/article (that being the opinion of the head writer of the show; Ichiro Okouchi).
I've given a link to the original Japanese document from Gekka's Animedia magazine.
Sunrise released a statemnent in Gekka's Animedia magazine which states; Scan of Animedia Sunrise Statement
Sunrise is a reliable source of information (they own Code Geass) as is Animedia magazine and Sunrise's statement is in conflict with that of the head writer of this show Ichiro Okouchi.
The point of contention here is over Zero_Requiem's repeated use of the word tone in the article to describe what Sunrise and Goro Taniguichi have stated in both Newtype Magazine (November 2008) and Animedia Magazine (January 2009).
The entry by Zero_Requiem is as follows;
The bold faced portion changes the meaning of what the Director (Goro Taniguichi) actually said in the Newtype Article which was reiterated by Sunrise in the January 2009 article (which has a proper English translation at ANN). For it to be NPOV is should read;
The reason this is important is because the show's main protagonist (Lelouch Lamperouge) may or may not have died at the end of this show and thus the ending is left open (a common plot device in many movies/TV shows).
In the Newtype article Taniguichi doesn't say it was the tone of the end that was up to the viewer to decide, he states simply to the interviewer in Newtype that the END is up to the viewer to decide.
Therefore by adding that it was the Tone, or the feeling, or anything else, Zero_Requiem is using pure speculation and opinion on his/her part and thus may be in violation of the NPOV rules of Wikipedia.
Which is why I'm bothering you with this. Is it worth it to correct this article so that it is NPOV or at least accurate? Or is it of such low importance that I should just simply write it off as another poorly written and inaccurate Wiki entry? I'd like to simply edit out the phrase that Zero_Requiem is using but the guy/gal just keeps reverting and undoing it so it's become kinda pointless. You'd think this would be no big deal, but for some reason it is and to be frank he/she has worn me thin here to the point where I'm about to say F-it and leave the article in error. Please advise whether I should just let it alone or not. Tetragrammaton ( talk) 05:29, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
I'd also like to add that this person is probably the user Zetsubou Bunny at the animesuki forums becaust that user has bragged over there about editing the Lelouch Lamperouge entry to reflect the animesuki viewpoint and shut out all other POV. This woman made the following comment today/tonight which is relevent to this argument which is rather unusual and coincidental. The reason this is relevent to this situation is that this person also claims that one of the favorite interests is engaging in Wikipedia Edit Wars. Just thought I'd provide a little background info on this user. Tetragrammaton ( talk) 06:33, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I've removed the 7-day delete template which was inserted for a second time by User:Steve Quinn from Tectonic weapon. The template clearly says "If this template is removed, it should not be replaced". I have added to the article and discussed it in detail in the Talk page. If you think that it should be deleted please trigger the normal deletion process, with discussion. Do remember that the article, though somewhat expanded, is no more than an initial stub; we are discussing whether the article should exist, not whether it is reasonably complete or polished (which it isn't). As there are several people involved, maybe better to discuss this in the article's discussion rather than here. For the benefit of anyone who sees this comment, I'm not trying to say that these weapons actually exist, simply that the topic is notable. Best wishes Pol098 ( talk) 18:45, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Caknuck. I took a look at this user's edits, and they actually do appear to have been valid edits.

Re the Brian David Mitchell protected page or merge into 'Elizabeth Smart Kidnapping'. I realize that you turned down the request but I believe some basic info is overlooked there because a) the community discussion is rather outdated and b) there is a lot more info in public arena for it to not be a WP:1E situation anymore for Mitchell. I wrote this on the unprotected request,
Not unprotected The merge was done as a result of a community discus...04:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
back in 2007 one could've argue that Mitchell was a WP:1E but today there is more about him and more non related events as his children have made public; plus the discussion now archived centered on the biographical article for elizabeth smart and not Mitchel per say, but today there is a separate bio article on Smart anyway (hence that community discussion is outdated) but the Mitchell one reverts to the kidnapping article -seems to be incorrect that way. Also I had opened a discussion in the talk page a week before requesting unprotect but there were no responses so surely today in 2010, no one seems to oppose a new article for him, so can you please reconsider you decision?115.128.25.68 (talk) 11:06, 14 March 2010 (UTC)"
I ask again because the reasons you gave to deny the unprotect I feel are not accurate, since, as before, the discussion on the merge was more on Smart rather than Mitchell and it is way out of date today, since Smart has her own bio page. Cheers Wombat24 ( talk) 23:11, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome message! I know it may sound a bit ... well ... unorthodox for us to be editing information on our Wiki about ourselves ... but we're striving to maintain accuracy on the site. We recently looked at the Wikipedia page as we were exploring what all was out there in cyberspace that talked about or mentioned us. We're hoping to make some clarifications, some additions and subtractions, and all-around make the information on the page look better. I'm working hard to not pitch anything (no pun intended) on our team's Wikipedia page, and we view this as a place for factual information only. We invite you to please take a look at the edits we make and moderate them somewhat, if that would make our edits more appropriate for this forum.
Regarding the addition of links to our facebook and twitter sites, as I understand the exemptions for these otherwise less-than-appropriate links, these are sites controlled by our organization completely. Wouldn't they be OK, then, for inclusion at the bottom of our Wikipedia page since it invites the reader to see what the organization is saying about itself?
Otherwise, the historical data we're changing comes directly from the official Texas League Media Guide, which unfortunately is not in a digital format. That, and team archives. We're trying to ensure this information - particularly historical data - is completely accurate. We're also hoping to include items of interest, such as single-game ticket prices and a current stadium seating chart.
Please let me know if this is OK! Thank you so much for your attention! Samissions ( talk) 19:35, 18 January 2010 (UTC)samissions

A while ago, (7 August 2007) you deleted the article Hank Green. The consensus in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hank Green was that Hank Green could not be considered a "notable" person. Quickly, I'd like to refute this and have this matter resolved. Hank Green is easily considered notable, following the guidelines under WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC
WP:BIO
Satisfying Basic Criteria
Hank Green has had over twenty articles written about him and several of his projects (Brotherhood 2.0, Project for Awesome, and Ecogeek). To name a few:
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]
[6]
[7]
(A list of articles mentioning Hank Green has helpfully been provided by
JoinTheMadVender, at
User:JoinTheMadVender/Sandbox#References that you can easily peruse for further examples.)
This easily satisfies the basic criteria (he has been "the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent and independent of the subject",
Wikipedia:BIO#Basic_criteria).
Entertainers Hank Green can be considered to have "a large fan base or a significant 'cult' following." Hank Green's channels on YouTube have both had thousands of views and subscribers ("theecogeek": subscribers, 3795; channel views, 11058. "vlogbrothers": subscribers, 84936). His and his brothers videos have collectively been watched over 20 million times. There are over 20, 000 members of the site Nerdfighters, which Hank Green started for fans. There are over 39, 500 members of his other fansite, My Pants.
Creative professionals Hank Green is both an editor and a journalist. He is the editor (as well as the sole creator) of the extremely popular environmentalist site "EcoGeek", which was heralded as "the leading blog on green science and technology" by The Nature Conservancy. He also writes environmentally-friendly articles on EcoGeek (along with the other long-term writers), which are among the most viewed on the site, that broadcast information about all things green. He also, often times, wrote articles for Mental floss.
WP:MUSIC
Hank Green can also be considered notable as a musician. He satisfies qualification #2 on Wikipedia:MUSIC#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles ("has had a charted single or album on any national music chart") by having his album "So Jokes" clock in at #22 in Top Revenue Sales on the Billboard. (Cited here: Billboard.com)
So, please consider undeleting
Hank Green. Below is my reasoning as stated in
Talk:Hank_Green, reprinted for your convenience, for the return of the article.
Call for the Reopening for the Hank Green Page
I believe that there is sufficient notable information on Hank Green to warrant the reopening of his page. I still don't fully understand why, if the information was insufficient, Hank Green's page wasn't simply marked as "stub". The redirection to "John Green (author)" is invaluable to those looking to learn more about Hank Green, because the article only mentions Hank Green in swift passing.
It seems Hank Green's standalone "notability" has also been called into question. First, I will mention his incredibly large following on the video sharing website "YouTube" (which, by the way, is not as isolated a community as some believe). It is unfair to understate the value of his "Project for Awesome" (P4A), which encourages people to spread the word on worthy charities through the internet. This project has encouraged donations to hundreds of charities.
Hank Green is the sole founder of EcoGeek, which (along with its sister companies Carectomy, Envirovore, and Envirowonk) is a large information blog, filled with articles on all things environmentally-friendly. It is "the leading blog on green science and technology", even, according to The Nature Conservancy. EcoGeek has been nominated for a plethora of awards as well. Also, notably, he was a writer for Mental_floss. This is an accomplishment within itself.
These are all things that Hank Green had achieved as of 20 December 2008, and yet, it seems not to be accepted enough to warrant a Wikipedia page (not even a "stub"!), which is, I think, outrageous. Fortunately, he has achieved much more, as of 28 May 2009. So, in addition to the following list:
- Conceiver of the "Project for Awesome", a project dedicated to informing individuals of charities in need of financial support
- Founder, runner, and editor of EcoGeek.com, which has been heralded as the "leading blog on green science and technology"
- Writer for the popular magazine Mental floss
- Co-initiator of the Brotherhood 2.0 Project, which remain among of the most viewed videos of all time on YouTube
- One of several writers for EcoGeek.com
Hank Green has accomplished even more. He has now co-founded a record company, DFTBA Records, which has released his album "So Jokes". "So Jokes" entered the Billboard's Top 20 in February 2009 for Top Revenue Generating albums sold through paid downloads and paid streams. He has been on tour, the Tour de Nerdfighters, and has had several concerts. He was released music videos for his singles "It All Makes Sense At The End" and "DFTBA".
And let's go back to the whole "DFTBA Records" thing for a moment: the record company has signed more than fifteen artists to its label (including Chameleon Circuit, Dave Days, Julia Nunes, Alan Lastufka, Tom Milsom, and Charlie McDonnell). It has its own forum for discussion of its artists (which is more than I can say for many, much more prominent, record companies), a radio show, and a "street team".
So, he's a record producer, singer/songwriter, environmentalist, and vlogger? Well, that seems pretty "notable" to me.
Thank you for reading this, and I hope this can be resolved. (And sorry this is so lengthy! I'm a talker. :P)

I know this is probably not the most important article here at Wiki, but I find myself in an edit battle with a user named Zero_Requiem who continues to edit the Lelouch Lamperouge entry (for the Japanese show Code Geass) by changing the meaning of a November 2008 interview with the director of the show (Goro Taniguichi) in question in the Japanese Magazine Newtype which was repeated in a January 2009 article (in the Japanese magazine Animedia) by the company which made the show, Sunrise.
I've given links to the pages in the Japanese magazine [8] [9] [10], I've given verifiable links to the Anime News Network (a reliable source) printing of the official statement (by the company who owns the show; Sunrise) on this subject which contradicts the other evidence presented in the wikipedia entry/article (that being the opinion of the head writer of the show; Ichiro Okouchi).
I've given a link to the original Japanese document from Gekka's Animedia magazine.
Sunrise released a statemnent in Gekka's Animedia magazine which states; Scan of Animedia Sunrise Statement
Sunrise is a reliable source of information (they own Code Geass) as is Animedia magazine and Sunrise's statement is in conflict with that of the head writer of this show Ichiro Okouchi.
The point of contention here is over Zero_Requiem's repeated use of the word tone in the article to describe what Sunrise and Goro Taniguichi have stated in both Newtype Magazine (November 2008) and Animedia Magazine (January 2009).
The entry by Zero_Requiem is as follows;
The bold faced portion changes the meaning of what the Director (Goro Taniguichi) actually said in the Newtype Article which was reiterated by Sunrise in the January 2009 article (which has a proper English translation at ANN). For it to be NPOV is should read;
The reason this is important is because the show's main protagonist (Lelouch Lamperouge) may or may not have died at the end of this show and thus the ending is left open (a common plot device in many movies/TV shows).
In the Newtype article Taniguichi doesn't say it was the tone of the end that was up to the viewer to decide, he states simply to the interviewer in Newtype that the END is up to the viewer to decide.
Therefore by adding that it was the Tone, or the feeling, or anything else, Zero_Requiem is using pure speculation and opinion on his/her part and thus may be in violation of the NPOV rules of Wikipedia.
Which is why I'm bothering you with this. Is it worth it to correct this article so that it is NPOV or at least accurate? Or is it of such low importance that I should just simply write it off as another poorly written and inaccurate Wiki entry? I'd like to simply edit out the phrase that Zero_Requiem is using but the guy/gal just keeps reverting and undoing it so it's become kinda pointless. You'd think this would be no big deal, but for some reason it is and to be frank he/she has worn me thin here to the point where I'm about to say F-it and leave the article in error. Please advise whether I should just let it alone or not. Tetragrammaton ( talk) 05:29, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
I'd also like to add that this person is probably the user Zetsubou Bunny at the animesuki forums becaust that user has bragged over there about editing the Lelouch Lamperouge entry to reflect the animesuki viewpoint and shut out all other POV. This woman made the following comment today/tonight which is relevent to this argument which is rather unusual and coincidental. The reason this is relevent to this situation is that this person also claims that one of the favorite interests is engaging in Wikipedia Edit Wars. Just thought I'd provide a little background info on this user. Tetragrammaton ( talk) 06:33, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I've removed the 7-day delete template which was inserted for a second time by User:Steve Quinn from Tectonic weapon. The template clearly says "If this template is removed, it should not be replaced". I have added to the article and discussed it in detail in the Talk page. If you think that it should be deleted please trigger the normal deletion process, with discussion. Do remember that the article, though somewhat expanded, is no more than an initial stub; we are discussing whether the article should exist, not whether it is reasonably complete or polished (which it isn't). As there are several people involved, maybe better to discuss this in the article's discussion rather than here. For the benefit of anyone who sees this comment, I'm not trying to say that these weapons actually exist, simply that the topic is notable. Best wishes Pol098 ( talk) 18:45, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Re the Brian David Mitchell protected page or merge into 'Elizabeth Smart Kidnapping'. I realize that you turned down the request but I believe some basic info is overlooked there because a) the community discussion is rather outdated and b) there is a lot more info in public arena for it to not be a WP:1E situation anymore for Mitchell. I wrote this on the unprotected request,
Not unprotected The merge was done as a result of a community discus...04:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
back in 2007 one could've argue that Mitchell was a WP:1E but today there is more about him and more non related events as his children have made public; plus the discussion now archived centered on the biographical article for elizabeth smart and not Mitchel per say, but today there is a separate bio article on Smart anyway (hence that community discussion is outdated) but the Mitchell one reverts to the kidnapping article -seems to be incorrect that way. Also I had opened a discussion in the talk page a week before requesting unprotect but there were no responses so surely today in 2010, no one seems to oppose a new article for him, so can you please reconsider you decision?115.128.25.68 (talk) 11:06, 14 March 2010 (UTC)"
I ask again because the reasons you gave to deny the unprotect I feel are not accurate, since, as before, the discussion on the merge was more on Smart rather than Mitchell and it is way out of date today, since Smart has her own bio page. Cheers Wombat24 ( talk) 23:11, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Did you make a mistake on protecting the article? Because it's not protected. • GunMetal Angel 04:17, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello,
I recently posted a Wiki article about Lorraine Leckie and her Demons and it was deleted for copyright infringement. The website cited as the original post was written by me. So it can't be infringement - it would be me plagiarizing me! Can I talk with you about how to clear this up?
Thank you for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lorraineleckie ( talk • contribs) 19:25, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
