Hey; I've declined the CSD here, because he clearly asserts significance (a lower test than notability). As you point out on the talkpage, this doesn't mean he meets the inclusion guidelines, and you're welcome to PROD or AfD the article. Ironholds ( talk) 03:52, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Excuse me, you deleted content from this article with no good reason. There were citations coming for all these references. You say you support "in popular culture" sections but apparently not on articles you nominate for deletion? So which is it? Please give an explanation as to why you are REMOVING CONTENT on an article. Thanks. TurtleMelody ( talk) 02:30, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the note regarding your A7 nomination of Rangoli Restaurant.

A tag has been placed on Kabbage UK, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising,
. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit
the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You may freely add information to the page that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

Hi - please will you let me know whether I've revised the entry sufficiently to remain on the wikipedia site? If not, perhaps you can give me some advice, there's an entry under "Kabbage" which is the name of my organisation, so perhaps I should simply add my details to that one? Any advice you can offer gratefully received, I really don't wish to be in breach of the rules for this site, nor exploit it for commercial purposes, I simply wish to have a voice in the same way that other companies do.
Thanks,

Hi Basalisk,
I do not understand why you are being so destructive to the Sarah Bakewell article. If there are words or sentences you think are 'cruft', that does not justify deleting 90% of the article and all the references. There were two book reviews cited in the article in well respected newspapers, which you deleted. The NYT review gives quite a bit of biographical information too. Please await the outcome of the AfD before deleting the article. Sionk ( talk) 20:53, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi there,
Thanks for working with me on the Xentax Foundation page. I appreciate and welcome your suggestions. You've identified a number of citations needed. I understand that you refer to c64.org as not a standard. However, I do believe that http://noname.c64.org/csdb is the closest thing to a database that lists the most accurate timelines. For example, http://noname.c64.org/csdb/group/?id=6138 is the page for USB. The software listed there shows dates of creation when started in an emulator. I would like to understand better what kind of citation would be needed to confirm this, other than this CSDb which lists +100,000 software products? Thanks again!

Hi Basalisk, I appreciate your intense concern in this matter but be careful with wrong accusations. I did not expect being accused and even threatened to be blocked. What a community! And for those who do not know it, I did NOT post the video on Arthur Rubin on Youtube. It merely illustrates the experience I am having with him, and apparently I am not the only one. I have no problem in accepting that the "List of potential Nobel Prize in Literature winners" be deleted IF it cannot be backed up by adequate sources. What bothers me, however, is the extremely rude attitude in deleting articles prior to its PROD deadline so that the proposed deletion can neither be challenged nor factual evidence established in time. -- Anthrophilos -- Anthrophilos ( talk) 18:16, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Basalisk, I noticed that SmartDefrag article has been marked for deletion. I am currently testing a number of defragmentation tools and i believe that SmartDefrag (with all its unpleasant characteristics like the advertising pane at its bottom or the slowness starting...) may be notable having similar functionality to "set it and forget it" to DiskKeeper not found in other tools freeware.

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their July 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on July 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on July 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to eliminate the articles tagged in April, May and June 2011 from the queue and to complete all requests placed before the end of June. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 6 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in April–June 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

I'm sorry to have to decline your request. As a Glaswegian, I am only too aware of sectarianism, which spills over here, and I avoid Northern Ireland related issues like the plague. Frankly though, I think the claims of "water boarding" are bullshit, Paras are just not that subtle. See the Five techniques for the sort of thing that went on at the time.

I'd like to point out that the only reason Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Bridge Boy became a content dispute is because the subject himself successfully hijacked the discussion by pasting in a flood of his content-related comments from article talk pages. The ANI thread was opened because of complaints by several editors about violation of WP:OWN, WP:AGF, and especially WP:CIVIL. The content disupte comments are off-topic, and should be struck from AIN, but the thread should not be closed until a decision is made. The overwhelming consensus is that the decision should be block. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 19:01, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Basalisk, just thought you deserved a little note re Sayers Croft, your A3 tag of it after twenty minutes was in my view perfectly correct. But as we'd come across it during a training session I was running we managed to rescue it. Not that I can guarantee that the Sayers Croft we wrote about was the one the newby had in mind:) Cheers Ϣere SpielChequers 19:42, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Participation: Out of 45 people who signed up this drive, 31 have copy-edited at least one article. Lfstevens continues to carry most of the weight, having edited 360 articles and over a quarter of a million words already. Thanks to all who have participated!

Please remove the sppedy delete template as I now established notability. TheAnnoymousUser ( talk) 19:55, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Use your brain. The page is now a redirect to the main page Moral and national education, not a recreation. The group may fail some wikipedia policies, but the issue certeinaly does not. Redirecting a relevant group to the article on that issue is "Sub-topics or other topics which are described or listed within a wider article" on WP:R. Let me put it this way, if the page Moral and national education had been created before Scholarism was deleted, the deletion result would probably be "Redirect to Moral and national education" instead of Delete. Amend your deletion reason please. -- Jabo-er ( talk) 14:06, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

If you have other reasons why it should not be mentioned in Wikipedia, I'd like to know. Thank you.-- Parsec09 ( talk) 19:05, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their July 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on July 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on July 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to eliminate the articles tagged in April, May and June 2011 from the queue and to complete all requests placed before the end of June. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 6 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in April–June 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

I'm sorry to have to decline your request. As a Glaswegian, I am only too aware of sectarianism, which spills over here, and I avoid Northern Ireland related issues like the plague. Frankly though, I think the claims of "water boarding" are bullshit, Paras are just not that subtle. See the Five techniques for the sort of thing that went on at the time.

I'd like to point out that the only reason Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Bridge Boy became a content dispute is because the subject himself successfully hijacked the discussion by pasting in a flood of his content-related comments from article talk pages. The ANI thread was opened because of complaints by several editors about violation of WP:OWN, WP:AGF, and especially WP:CIVIL. The content disupte comments are off-topic, and should be struck from AIN, but the thread should not be closed until a decision is made. The overwhelming consensus is that the decision should be block. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 19:01, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Basalisk, just thought you deserved a little note re Sayers Croft, your A3 tag of it after twenty minutes was in my view perfectly correct. But as we'd come across it during a training session I was running we managed to rescue it. Not that I can guarantee that the Sayers Croft we wrote about was the one the newby had in mind:) Cheers Ϣere SpielChequers 19:42, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Basalisk, remember
here where you said to let you know if we need any help? Well we sure do! We could use some outside opinions at this

Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Can_the_KNMG_official_viewpoint_document_be_used_in_this_way.3F. Your honest input would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Please remove the sppedy delete template as I now established notability. TheAnnoymousUser ( talk) 19:55, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Use your brain. The page is now a redirect to the main page Moral and national education, not a recreation. The group may fail some wikipedia policies, but the issue certeinaly does not. Redirecting a relevant group to the article on that issue is "Sub-topics or other topics which are described or listed within a wider article" on WP:R. Let me put it this way, if the page Moral and national education had been created before Scholarism was deleted, the deletion result would probably be "Redirect to Moral and national education" instead of Delete. Amend your deletion reason please. -- Jabo-er ( talk) 14:06, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Basalisk, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Hotel Osijek, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 doesn't apply to buildings. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 15:27, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I felt I should update you on the result - an admin blocked the user for a period of 72 hours, to reinforce an indefinite topic ban from the area.
Thanks for your concern though! -- Activism 1234 01:35, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey Elahrairah. I'm dropping you a note because you used to patrol new pages. This is just to let you know that we've deployed and developed Page Curation, which augments and supersedes Special:NewPages - there are a lot of interesting new features if you want to get back into the swing of patrolling :). There's some help documentation here if you want to familiarise yourself with the system and start using it. If you find any bugs or have requests for new features, let us know here. Thanks!
