Hi ESanchez013. Thank you for your work on patrolling pages and tagging for
speedy deletion. I just wanted to inform you that I declined to delete
Total Access Statistics, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion under criterion
A7 because of the following concern: A7 cannot be applied to software. Please review
the criteria for speedy deletion and especially what is considered
Non-criteria. In future you should rather tag such pages for
proposed deletion or start an appropriate

Thanks to User:Belasted and User:Sephiroth storm for getting involved voluntarily.
You must have some negative feelings towards Carlos Coy and its demonstrated in your constant persute to expose his child molestation charges in the introduction. As i stated in the discussion, it is inappropriate to include that in the beginning of the article. Other rappers who are also convicted felons are not treated the same way. Their introductions do not begin with their past convitions. I am not opposed to stating facts on wikipedia, nor am I in favor of bias information, as you are, to support my ideas. Editing articles to your favor is not what wikipedia is here for and I'm sure you get away with it by simply labeling it as "unconstructive." It would be different if I was deleting all information regarding the charges by which he is incarcerated and filling in the blank spots with "HE DIDN"T DO IT FREE SPM!" but I'm not. His trial and incarceration definitely need to be presented as its imperative to better understand who and what he is. Ultimately, his convition DOES need to be removed from the introduction, but kept in the article, without anyone imposing their beliefs that he did or did not commit the crime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielg77017 ( talk • contribs) 23:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi - I’m User:CCFSDCA (Christopher Corbett-Fiacco) and I understand the concerns expressed by many of you regarding the articles I’ve posted at Wikipedia the past week or so. I am in fact the author of The Whole World Calendar Book of Holidays Around the World, as stated (an as-yet unpublished book which is based upon the self-published The Whole World Calendar 2008 [and 2009; email me at (e-mail removed for safety reasons) and I’ll be glad to send you a sample page and info on ordering, if interested]). I have sent Wikipedia its permissions grant for using copyrighted material as requested and assure you that I am not self-promoting. My mistake is in not yet spending the time to figure out exactly how to cite the book as the reference for the article, which I’ll do as soon as I have the time. My intent in adding the articles is that they are actual national/religious/cultural holidays and festivals, are therefore ‘newsworthy’ if not particularly important, and, having spent two years researching the topic, I can assure you that it is quite difficult at times to find such information -- try to find out what Earthquake Victims Memorial Day is in Armenia and you’ll see what I mean. It is my intent to self-publish the book within 6 months if I cannot find a publisher. Meanwhile, feel free to delete my articles as desired. I’ll revisit the subject at a later date and repost them only after I’ve ascertained that I am, in fact, doing it right. Meanwhile, I’m not copying from somebody else -- those articles are my own -- that’s the way I write. Thanks much. CCFSDCA ( talk) 20:32, 6 February 2009 (UTC)Chris Corbett-Fiacco

Hey, I got a message from you on my IP 90.194.136.70 about vandalism to Just Can't Get Enough.
So I set up an account, it said I had repeatedly been warned when I hadn't. What I did wasn't vandalism, I think you must have been mistaken.
As far as I know the album which this track by The Saturdays is on isn't Chasing Lights - Deluxe Edition as there is not one, it's a Comic Relief single so I edited that. Then I added the B-side track name which is listed one 2 sites, one being this http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;-1;-1;-1;-1&sku=933608
Just thought I'd let you know it wasn't vandalism :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nintyplayer ( talk • contribs) 01:42, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Edward,
I adress you as one of the reviewers who has voted for non publication of my submission on Prof. Thiele. As you seem to be a mathematically minded guy it seems not very logical to me that: if the information published on A.N. Thiele on the German version of Wikipedia was accepted according to the criteria set forth by Wiki, why should (basically) a translation of the same information into English not withstand ... ?
Thiele - together with Richard Small - is one of the most well know figures in audio engineering, and anybody interested in loudspeaker design certainly knows his name (worldwide ...). So - if you ever happen to listen to loudspeakers, chances are good that the person who designed them has made use of some (now) knowledge that Thiele (together with Richard Small) has come up with.
I may have come up just with two references (the German Wiki and the reference to his first AES-paper, at the end of which a CV of his is included), but: I would have thought that the purpose of other reviewers on Wiki is to assure that WHAT is being put on the web is correct, and not a simple refusal due to a lack of a number of references.
If you are in doubt about the content of what I have written, there are chances that Prof. Thiele can be contacted directly at the University of Sydney, where he still seems to teach: (removing personal contact information for safety reasons)
In my opinion it would be a shame if the German Wiki should stay ahead of the International/English version ...

Hello ESanchez013. I removed your speedy tag from Greg howlett as it fails the A7 criteria. A7 is only used when there is no claim of notability. When there is a claim, albeit a weak one, it is best to prod it or send it to AfD if you desire. In this case, Greg howlett is the CEO of a corporation and a published writer, certainly a claim of notability that needs to be investigated.

Why exactly did you feel the need to create categories for each day of the year up to Category:AfC submissions by date/31 December 2009? These categories won't be populated until the day they are meant for, so some of these will remain empty for months (10 months in this case). Are you aware of WP:CSD#C1? All of these categories will be eligible for speedy deletion if not populated within 4 days of creation, which by definition, most of these categories will not be. I feel you created these unnecessarily early and will have wasted your time as a result. In the future, please only create these "placeholder" type of categories if you anticipate them being populated within 4 days of creation (or, preferably, immediately upon creation).

Msgj is correct that we would need a bot to do this for us, but I'm not exactly good in any programming language, so I could not have done this either.

Hi, just letting you know that speedy criterion G4 only applies to articles that got deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion in the past; not if the article has been speedy deleted before.

Hi, I am the author of the page on "Smarter Wikipedia" which was considered blatant advertising and speedily deleted. I am certainly new here, so I accept that I could be wrong, but I was not trying to advertise it. In fact, in my article I posted negative aspects of it, such as users' complaints. I thought that it was a relevant addon for Wikipedia since it was concerned with Wikipedia itself. Looking at a few other pages on Firefox addons such as LibX and PDF Download, it actually contained more references. Also, as far as I know the addon is open source and makes no money, so there shouldn't be much of a concern for advertising about it. If you could give me tips on how to make it more encyclopediatic and make it less likely to be deleted I would be glad to incorporate the changes. Thanks in advance.

This is in no way an attack page, it's a well documented case (as a quick google will show), and it is backed up with a solid reference.

Seriously, what a dick move. 30 seconds after creation of an article, the first edit of which is referenced, about the national oil company of a Niger, it's nominated for speedy deletion? Seriously dick move. This is why people leave wikipedia.
Explain, if you will, how this meets speedy deletion:
Also explain why it is appropriate to tag articles as such immediately upon first edit. This is a flagrant abuse of these standards, and if I had not been someone who's been contributing to Wikipedia for three years, I would rightly think that Wikipedia was a very nasty place.
Sort it out, but frankly, I don't want to hear from you again. T L Miles ( talk) 19:59, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Your speedy deletion edits are a flagrant abuse of the Speedy Deletion standard: both the rationale (which are Notability guideline rationales for a full deletion debate) and the speed (immediately upon creation of article). If, after a dozen people telling you this, you still don't understand that, then you need to give this a wee think. As to Dick Move: doing it once cause you're a newbie is understandable. Doing it repeatedly looks like purposeful abuse of the deletion process. That is a Dick Move, and you clearly need to be called on it, cause previous interactions on this page with others don't seem to have gotten you the message.

I see I'm not the first person to bring this up with you. I have declined your speedy tag of Vishram Sawant, which you labeled as "no context." The article gave a clear context, this person is a film director from India. It also included a reference. The ref wasn't formatted properly, but it only took me about one minute to fix that. The ref revealed that this person is well known in India and has directed several well-received films. Please be more careful with your CSD tagging in the future.

I have already said what I have to say about this proposed deletion on the Take Back NYU! talk page. The article definitely needs to be improved, but the subject is notable. It received media attention literally across the world, it was in the New York Times and will soon be in The Gardian. It should not be deleted. -- N-k, 02:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Why exactly did you feel the need to create categories for each day of the year up to Category:AfC submissions by date/31 December 2009? These categories won't be populated until the day they are meant for, so some of these will remain empty for months (10 months in this case). Are you aware of WP:CSD#C1? All of these categories will be eligible for speedy deletion if not populated within 4 days of creation, which by definition, most of these categories will not be. I feel you created these unnecessarily early and will have wasted your time as a result. In the future, please only create these "placeholder" type of categories if you anticipate them being populated within 4 days of creation (or, preferably, immediately upon creation).

Reset indent As User:Msgj has explained, he asked me to help him create cats. as far ahead as possible. Perhaps I did get too far ahead of myself, and in fact wasted time if someone will speedy them. I did think of using AWB (I'm approved to use it) but did not know how to tell it to do them for me (if indeed that's possible). Msgj is correct that we would need a bot to do this for us, but I'm not exactly good in any programming language, so I could not have done this either. I'm sorry if I potentially caused trouble, but do want to point out that only because Msgj asked for my help, I do not want it to seem like I'm pusing all the responsibility to him. ←Signed:→Mr. E.

Thank you for the welcome. I know you must send hundreds, but it's a great policy and very kind. -- ZoeF-1995 ( talk) 18:16, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Just a friendly note on It's All Love!. I declined your request for speedy deletion under A9 because the artist's article exists (I added a wikilink to it). Normally I'd just redirect this to the artist's article, but my google-fu is weak on JPop stuff, so it might be notable. -- Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:48, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi, this article has nothing to do with advertising. No brand name is mentioned anywhere...! Jon Ascton (talk) 19:13, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi, just letting you know that speedy criterion G4 only applies to articles that got deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion in the past; not if the article has been speedy deleted before. This article had been deleted as an WP:CSD#A7 speedy before and that still applies, so I just changed the tag and there's no problem. Thanks. :) ~ mazca t| c 19:27, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I am the author of the page on "Smarter Wikipedia" which was considered blatant advertising and speedily deleted. I am certainly new here, so I accept that I could be wrong, but I was not trying to advertise it. In fact, in my article I posted negative aspects of it, such as users' complaints. I thought that it was a relevant addon for Wikipedia since it was concerned with Wikipedia itself. Looking at a few other pages on Firefox addons such as LibX and PDF Download, it actually contained more references. Also, as far as I know the addon is open source and makes no money, so there shouldn't be much of a concern for advertising about it. If you could give me tips on how to make it more encyclopediatic and make it less likely to be deleted I would be glad to incorporate the changes. Thanks in advance.

How do I talk to User:NawlinWiki? I can't edit his/her talk page because it is semi-protected. Wikeditor21 ( talk) 19:41, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I just expanded the article a bit more and added more rational for keeping it in the talk pages. I hope this is enough for it to not be speedily deleted? While I agree that it might not be consided that notable, I do hope you will remove the speedily delete tag. If there is anything more I can do, please let me know.

Re. csd on new article Lydia Foy
This is in no way an attack page, it's a well documented case (as a quick google will show), and it is backed up with a solid reference.
As I stated in the edit, a more full version of the article will be uploaded within the hour,
Please be careful in making snap decisions about new pages.
Fortunately an admin removed the speedy almost instantly,
Could I ask you to please remove the speedy template from my talk page.
Regards,

Seriously, what a dick move. 30 seconds after creation of an article, the first edit of which is referenced, about the national oil company of a Niger, it's nominated for speedy deletion? Seriously dick move. This is why people leave wikipedia.
Explain, if you will, how this meets speedy deletion:
Also explain why it is appropriate to tag articles as such immediately upon first edit. This is a flagrant abuse of these standards, and if I had not been someone who's been contributing to Wikipedia for three years, I would rightly think that Wikipedia was a very nasty place.
Sort it out, but frankly, I don't want to hear from you again. T L Miles ( talk) 19:59, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Your speedy deletion edits are a flagrant abuse of the Speedy Deletion standard: both the rationale (which are Notability guideline rationales for a full deletion debate) and the speed (immediately upon creation of article). If, after a dozen people telling you this, you still don't understand that, then you need to give this a wee think. As to Dick Move: doing it once cause you're a newbie is understandable. Doing it repeatedly looks like purposeful abuse of the deletion process. That is a Dick Move, and you clearly need to be called on it, cause previous interactions on this page with others don't seem to have gotten you the message.

You tagged my article (I, claudius 'A touch of Murder') for speedy deletion, but I desperately wants to improve it. Could you help me be showing me how how to link, e.g actors names to their biography pages and vice versa. Thanks for the help and please read the discussion page as to why I think the article should be kept. ( Beinghuman900 ( talk) 20:05, 27 February 2009 (UTC))
I see I'm not the first person to bring this up with you. I have declined your speedy tag of Vishram Sawant, which you labeled as "no context." The article gave a clear context, this person is a film director from India. It also included a reference. The ref wasn't formatted properly, but it only took me about one minute to fix that. The ref revealed that this person is well known in India and has directed several well-received films. Please be more careful with your CSD tagging in the future.
