Hello, Fastily! I'm afraid that I have to report User:Ryulong to you.I don't know why, but he is removing images from articles like Tom and Jerry, Pantaloon Retail India, Rural area.Examples include this, or this.I'm not all all interested in edit-wars, so any advice.I would probably be getting out of the argument going on at Pantaloon Retail India.Bye.

Dear sir,
I am working for this NGO "Parivartann- Change for better". I just wanted to put one page on wiki just for information. Anybody who know this organization can edit them. Please allow me to create one simple page.
You have deleted that page under G8. As I am a new guy in wiki, I am clueless even after going through the details. Please help me to rectify my errors.

Hi,
You deleted American International School of Vienna, due to: (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://newkai.com/reviews/ais/)
I am the owner and author of the said text on newkai.com and the author of the original text on Wikipedia. Does this still make it copyright infringement? Can I infringe on my own copyright? What do I need to do to get this article restored? - newkai t- c 15:35, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
The alleged "copyrighted material" at http://www.wellsclan.us/History/generatn/21regmnt.htm was not material created by that website, but was an extract from Dyer, Frederick H. A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion (Des Moines, IA: Dyer Pub. Co.), 1908. "Dyer's" is a text in the public domain, and is commonly used as a (or the) source document for most of the Wikipedia entries for Union regiments from the American Civil War. My article in Wikipedia used an extract from "Dyer's" (and stated as much), as did the author of the page at the wellsclan.us website (working separately). The wellsclan.us website in question states that the information on that page is an extract from "Dyer's", as was the deleted page on the 21st Missouri Volunteer Infantry. There were NO plagiarism, and NO copyright infringement. The two documents were created separately extracting the same document which is now in the public domain. Please reinstate the deleted Wiki page for the 21st Missouri Volunteer Infantry.
I stand ready to provide any addition information you might require.-- WSS Regt Historian ( talk) 19:07, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Following up to your last statement "Very well then, go ahead and recreate the article"...Does this mean that my work was irrecoverably destroyed without discussion? And, what is to prevent the individual who initiated this process from having the restored articles, or other articles which use "Dyers" from being similary destroyed? The process is not transpartent on this end. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.205.7.60 ( talk) 21:14, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I've restored this, as its deletion isn't non-controversial. The redirect is in active use; I discovered it had been deleted when I tried to tag an image with Twinkle, and found it dead. It is still linked from WP:CSD. I myself believe it is probably a useful redirect, as an easy shortcut to remember, and would prefer to see it go through deletion debate if you think it needs to go away.

It looks to me that the Melatonin article is using the pronunciation sound file you have nominated at Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_December_29#File:Melatonin-pronunciation.ogg for being orphaned and of no forseeable use. Am I missing something? Are you missing something? It was not orphaned when a bot tagged it as being so. I cannot find the file on Commons. I do not understand the corresponding Fbot activity [1]. This also applies at least to the next few nominations you have made. I do not have the ability to do mass checking. Can you double-check and let be know what is going wrong? Thincat ( talk) 21:27, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Fastily, please undo your deletion of CtC. It's a shorthand that I use personally (which is why I created it), and which I use as a personal shortlist (since no one else uses CtC, the 'what links here' function takes me to a list of files I personally vetted for transfer). Obviously with the drive starting now the timing on this couldn't be worse. I realize that this is a strange request, but I don't see the harm in it. Sven Manguard Wha? 21:46, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Could I ask you to explain the above closure more. It seems to me that, in your closure, you make no mention of our "policy" of respecting the copyright of countries even when there are not copyright relations and so the images are PD in the US (I discuss this more fully at the PUF). The reason I ask is that your closure is being used as some sort of precedence at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2011 December 22#Template:PD-Iran in US. I think they are mistaken in this usage and are confusing law with policy and not recognising that policy can go further than law. If you closed the discussion simply because they are PD and PUF isn't the place to discuss whether their use is allowed within policy then this will obviously have quite a different meaning to if you closed the discussion meaning the images are PD and we can use them within policy. If you did intend the second sort of closure I would ask for an explanation of while you think their use is allowed given what is stated at WP:C and in the e-mail. I do not think that a PUF discussion is the appropriate venue to be having such a discussion so I think an RfC should be held - that is of course unless I've missed some previous discussion.

Wondering why Marc Ecko's Wikipedia page was deleted. I noticed that you listed the reason as Unambiguous advertising and promotion. However, Wikipedia:CSD G11. explains that articles written from a neutral point of view don't apply under that criterion.

Why have you removed the article about the Långaryd family. It is NOT hoax. The family's is in Guinness Book of World Records in two places so it is wrong to say that the family is just a fiction. One can argue whether it is correct to call it a family by definition, but the concept is a reality.

Can you restore me the diffs of File:Utopian Dances cover.jpg because I wanted to demonstrate a bug in FTCG here.-- Ankit Maity Talk • contribs 08:17, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Dear Fastily
Here is a reformulation of my recent request concerning deletion of Talk:Two envelopes problem/sources.
Bulwersator responded to my request, saying that the page had not been deleted. What has happened is, I think, is the following. Two envelopes problem/sources has been deleted, and this deletion has automatically also destroyed Talk:Two envelopes problem/sources. I had been trying to move the former to the latter, since the former had been up for merge or deletion for some time. The actual consensus was to move the page to a subpage of the talk page of the main article.
To be precise, the day before, I had moved the content of Two envelopes problem/sources to Talk:Two envelopes problem/sources, and replaced it with a redirect to the main article, in line with another sub-Talk-page, Talk:Two envelopes problem/Arguments. I was stupid enough not to keep a personal back-up copy.
If undeletion is impossible, please put a recent version of Two envelopes problem/sources back in my user space, or iNic's. Or has it now gone forever? Richard Gill ( talk) 09:07, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
PS. Here is the notice at Two envelopes problem/sources:

Dear Fastily,
Happy New Year. I noticed that my article University of Oxford Georgian Society has been deleted as a similar one has been deleted previously. I have specifically redrafted the new article to address all the issues that were in the Oxford Georgian Society article (specifically removed sections on the current society, its president etc, basically all the info that does not have at least 2-3 reliable sources). I think its an interesting article and there are tens of wiki pages on other oxford university socities, so its not the topic that was an issue but content, that has been fixed - its all well documentted and cited. Please let me know if its possible to reinstate the page and I'll be happy to run you through the changes made.

Hi Fastily, This is Ryan, the Dakota Curling Club President, I believe the information on http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/dakota-curling-club/history.html was taken from wikipedia and not the other way around. For example, compare the information for the St. Paul Curling Club with that on spiritus-temporis. Likewise compare the Geographic information for St Paul with that on spiritus-temporis and you'll see that the spiritus temporis is nearly identical to parts of the wikipedia entry. In fact, spiritus temporis says they get their data from publicly available sources, probably including wikipedia. Please undelete our wikipedia page Dakota Curling Club entry.

It is cool that you work on the ogg-files so that we can get rid of the junk and move the good files for Commons. However, there is a problem with some of the files. It is not possible to see that they are used unless you check "what links here". So I checked the files you nominated for deletion and moved some of the files that was in use to Commons.
As an example you could check Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_December_26#File:Gettherebeforedark.ogg. There is nothing under File:Gettherebeforedark.ogg#File usage but under What links here.
The problem also make the bot tag used files as orphan. -- MGA73 ( talk) 20:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Fastily, Did you read the discussion at the talk page contesting the speedy delete nomination of Jehovah's Witness beliefs? The Watchtower Information Service website has clearly lifted content from the Wikipedia page, not the other way round. As the page unambiguously states, their content was added in 2010; the original Wikipedia article was created in 2006 and revised constantly since then. (Much of the information at the specific article on the Watchtower Information Service website is actually my work, written on Wikipedia and then lifted by them.) The 1999 copyright note on the external website clearly referred to the website, not specific pages. The nominator of this supposed copyvio is running a campaign to force the deletion of pages that contain material critical of his religion. Would you please restore the page? BlackCab ( talk) 04:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
I noticed you restored the page and I was wondering about the results of the investigation of the page with regards to possible copyright infringement. The page that it mirrors seems to give two conflicting dates, which have been the subject of some dispute. The copyright on the page is from 1999, and while it's possible that the page was created on a later date, I can't conclusively say that it was. Is there any way the publishers of the page can be contacted to verify a date the article was written by them , as they obviously do not state that they copied the article directly from Wikipedia, I think it's somewhat presumptuous to assume that they did, and more likely that an individual editor, years ago, chose to copy it from them and claim it as their own. It really is simply a matter of making sure that Wikipedia is not in violation of copyright laws and not as the editor previously stated, "a campaign to force the deletion of pages that contain material critical of his religion." which of itself is a false accusation because this is the only page I have ever nominated for deletion and that because of it's failure to adhere to WP:NPOV and the recently discovered likely copyright infringement.

I'd really appreciate it if you could possibly put it back and relate it again to the Bulgarian version, because I can't dedicate too much time on writing things like that. Besides the article in the Italian periodical is written LATER than that in WIKI, I didn't copy it for wiki.

Noticed that "Espial" [1] was deleted - I have not seen the original text but would like to add an article on the Espial "TV Browser".
The Espial "TV Browser" is one of many TV Browsers very rapidly coming to market, very different than the Desktop, Mobile or Tablet browsers that are described in Wikipedia based on the unique interface requirements of the viewer (8ft+ more away, remote control), the constrained environments (Set top boxes, game consoles, Blue-ray players and TVs), and the requirement to be as good if not better than desktop browsers.
The Espial TV browser is based on Webkit, and today supports HTML5 more completely than many desktop browsers. Other TV browsers are based on Gecko.
Also noticed that the article "internet browser" only describes desktop and mobile browsers. Tablet browsers and TV Browsers should be added.
To understand the market for TV Browsers - Hulu, YouTube and other media aggregators are adopting TV browsers to display content on these devices, while ALL major TV manufacturers (Hitachi, Sony, Panasonic) are looking to integrate TV browsers on all their platforms to satisfy the need for media/web consumption via the TV screen.
Please advise on what is required to correct the content.

hi, I put the wiki bio page up for speedy deletion. Not 100% convinced yet if this user deserves a wiki bio, but have reconsidered deletion in favor of locking page, and reversion to an Accurate version.
Users: "81.83.157.57", "AMA2010", "2.49.216.202", and "TVNEWS11" appear to be created for the sole purpose of spreading misinformation about this person, erasing CITED information about the topic (ie: my research), and promoting a book and movie about the claims.
I've also contacted Admin C.Fred about this, who has edited the page in the past, requesting page protection and reversion. I tried to undo some of the fake user edits, but it got to be tedious, and i figure you admins can do it easier anyways. Thanks!

Hi Fastily, This is Ryan, the Dakota Curling Club President, I believe the information on http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/dakota-curling-club/history.html was taken from wikipedia and not the other way around. For example, compare the information for the St. Paul Curling Club with that on spiritus-temporis. Likewise compare the Geographic information for St Paul with that on spiritus-temporis and you'll see that the spiritus temporis is nearly identical to parts of the wikipedia entry. In fact, spiritus temporis says they get their data from publicly available sources, probably including wikipedia. Please undelete our wikipedia page Dakota Curling Club entry. Thanks, Ryan DCCLeagueMgr ( talk) 18:31, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
I've read the G12 provision multiple times, but as I said, that other website (spiritus temporis) copied this content out of wikipedia.

You deleted, as a G12. When I look at the DD, I only see a couple of three word phrases. Neither the article nor the source are in English, so my lack of language skills is hampering me.

You then didn't even have the decency to inform me that you'd re-added it. I note that our deletion policy says that when there's disagreement over whether something meets a speedy criteria it's normal to start a discussion rather than re-add the tag. I have now started such a discussion. The description of F4 is overly vague and certainly doesn't describe a situation such as this. However in essence it's purpose is to make sure we can verify that we can legally use a file and as I say in this case we don't need source information to determine this, hence I don't think it's a F4.

Hello, is there a way to unlink all of the pages that link to an image before deleting it? Your recent deletion of the college helmet files pursuant to Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_December_31#File:Florida_Gators_football_helmet.gif (among others) has broken the infobox on every page that linked to them, which is a relatively large number. Cleaning up each one individually is a nontrivial effort, and since the file has been deleted, normal members like me can't be sure they've cleaned up every page that used to link to the image in question. It would just be much more helpful if you could unlink pages that use the pictures before deleting them.- Jhortman ( talk) 15:39, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm puzzled by your closing statement for this template: (1) it's a template, not a file, (2) the concern raised by the nominator was that that plainlist works better. However, it has been pointed out that plainlist does not work in image captions, while unbulleted list does work. plainlist has less functionality, which means it cannot be used to replace unbulleted list in some cases. I also argued that by simply adding "class=plainlist" to unbulleted list, there would be no need to orphan it, saving tens of thousands of senseless edits. neither of these ideas points were addressed. thank you.

Hi Fastily,
First of all, thanks for doing all you do on Wikipedia. I've seen your name come up many times and you have been making great contributions to the project. I was surprised to see that you deleted File:Halperin.JPG; I was the only editor who commented in that discussion other than the nominator, and I argued against deletion. I understand that deletion discussions are not votes, but surely a closure that contradicts the sole comment in the discussion should be preceded by a response countering that comment. Any clarification about why this image was deleted despite the concerns I raised would be appreciated. More importantly, however, I recommend contributing to rather than closing single-comment discussions in the future when the sole comment recommends a different course of action than the one you believe to be correct. You've been doing great work in this area of Wikipedia, so I realize that you closed the discussion in good faith.

Dear Fastily -- Please kindly re-instate the page on Jennifer Su that you had deleted. I indeed exist and have been on Wikipedia for many years now. I moved house and my emails changed, so that is probably why I hadn't received any notice of pending deletion. Your prompt re-instating of Jennifer Su would be very much appreciated.
Thank you so much and wishing you a happy 2012 and upcoming Year of the Dragon.

Thanks for the deletions of Title of new article here.

My page was deleted with the reason "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion" Below is the content of my deleted page.
'Green Planet 4 Kids is an English-language magazine published annually by Regional Maple Leaf Communications Inc. It is illustrated by Canadian artist Bob Hahn and was first published in 2010. The magazine uses a dinosaur group of cartoon characters "The Eco Family" in the form of comic strips that humorously depicts different ideas that ordinary families can implement to live more environmentally friendly. There is an accompanying website greenplanet4kids.com.'
Please advice me which part of this content I should change so it does not sound promotional.
Here are some of the reasons why I think this page should be on the wikipedia (Please advice me if it should be listed in some other section. )
Please let me know if you would like to learn more about this book, and I could send you a free copy of it.

The rule of Communist Aesthetics was a synthesized concept brought up by my a professor of mine in a history/psychology class. He uses it repeatedly and when other teachers were queried concerning it, they stated roughly the same thing as he. Although it is not readily known within most online communities, it is real. It has been used on my campus (University of Michigan) for many years. I hope that you can see through what may seem like humor in it and leave it be in the case that other students (or others) may use this site as a resource for the unusual rule of Communist Aesthetics.

I stopped watching the largely inane discussion about deleting {{ foreignchar}} some time ago, so I have only just discovered that the final decision was to delete. However, I can't see that much reasoning was given by the closing admin. Since the issue is evidently quite contentious, and there were (arguably) strong arguments on both sides, I was hoping you could give some guidance on how you weighed up the arguments in reaching your conclusion. I am particularly worried, since there were a large number of people who had evidently gravely misunderstood the purpose of the template. -- Stemonitis ( talk) 17:03, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Fastily. I see that you deleted Zanran under CSD G4 (recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). However, the author of the article has been posting on my talk page about this, saying, amongst other things, that the article is substantially different from that discussed at AfD, and, having looked at both, I agree. My inclination is to restore the article, and let it be taken to another AfD if necessary. Perhaps you would like to look back at it and let me know what you think.

Hi, Fastily. Just wanted to let you know that, following a question at my talk page, I've pulled up the history of this article and tucked it elsewhere pending a full investigation of copyright concerns. The tagger evidently didn't realize that there was clean content in the history, or I'm sure he would have listed it at WP:CP rather than tagging it for {{ Db-g12}}. Some people at the talk page think it may be a reverse infringement, I gather, but I have no opinion on that yet myself. When I have a little more time, I'll do the digging and see what I can find out and what might be salvageable from earlier edits. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:38, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
As you have failed to respond, my working hypothesis is that you did not investigate the article prior to deletion. Even if the article were shown to have copyright violations at this point, your failure to investigate, and failure to respond to inquiries, raise serious concerns. Given the numerous similar complaints you've received in the past, I believe your actions display a pattern of misuse of an administrative tool. This is your last chance to reform.

By doing research on above topic I obviously wanted to see what does Wikipedia have about it, and I found out you deleted the page as a hoax. I did not create the page, nor I know how to do it. But being from Yugoslavia, and not remembering anything about 'our' space program from my childhood, I wanted to research the topic, after learning about a Slovenian documentary scheduled to release next Spring about that issue ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfJiNPZ38kY). It discusses work of Slovenian rocket scientist Herman Potocnik. I admit I am skeptical about the hypothesis that Tito 'sold' rocket science to Kennedy, and that Verner von Braun built his work on Potocnik's blueprints, but I believe Wikipedia should perhaps have some information about the topic and the film project.

What you fail to consider with deleting this page is that while the U.S.A. launched the Apollo program in 1960, this does not mean that negotiations for the Yugoslav data did not begin in 1960. The Talks with the CIA could very well have occurred within the timeframe. I would suggest reinstating the page, however stating that the information has a lack of sources that are YET TO BE RELEASED in the "houston, we have a problem" documentary. Once this documentary is released, you could choose to delete it or not. However, until then, you have no justifiable cause or reason to delete the page.
I received correspondence today saying that you had deleted an image of a worker at the Trinidad Regional Virus Laboratory in 1956 because there was supposedly insufficient data giving permission to use it. As you can see from the correspondence (below) I had already written showing that I did indeed have permission to use it but does not seem to have been taken into account. So, unless you have other reasons (in which case please leave me a note on my Talk Page or email me), would you please reinstate the image?

I will act bossy here but please just revive the page because I did not copyright that one section, I rewrote it in my own full words. By the way did you even bother to inspect why it was put up for deletion. I bet you didn't because even the most stupid idiotic people would see that this page was not copyright at all. I actually remember when we went into this situation with the History of Indian football page when I supposedly copyrighted that from an article created after I created this page.

Dear Fastily,
Thank you very much for your response. I believe there was a misunderstanding which I would like to clear up - the article Oxford University Georgian Society was not simply reposted and hence in violation of G4. I have specifically addressed the issues raised under the Oxford Georgian Society Discussion page, and the article University of Oxford Georgian Society is now well referenced and cited with numerous external sources and reading materials, which was the issue with the previous article (anything that only has one reference has been removed). I believe its an interesting topic that has tens of analogous articles on Wikipedia (Oxford University Polish Society, Oxford University Greek Society, Oxford University Russian Society etc). I would thus like to kindly ask for the article Oxford University Georgian Society to be reinstated. Please let me know if you require any additional information / clarification.

Unambiguous copyright infringement, eh? Can I point out that I got the majority of the information in the article was sourced from Wikipedia and some from the audio podcast of Big Finish (I think it was early November 2011) and from a brief bio.
Given the 90% of Wikipedia is material taken from other sources and then redrafted, I think you decision to target my little article seems a little churlish. Has Miss Olsson offended you in anyway? Did you ask for an autograph and she slighted you? Or do you have a particular disdain for voice actors?
I'd have to assume all of those, because the decision to delete the article without suggestion of amendment would appear to breach the very spirit of Wikipedia, the "peoples encyclopedia", providing us with a real glimpse into what is effectively a cabal of like minded people.

This editor has been around since 2007, and has almost 70,000 edits, but it looks like he's created 30 or 40 articles of the type I tagged tonight and you deleted: an article about a non-notable actor that consists of a generic single sentence lede followed by a filmography straight out of IMDB. These are all actors who played bit parts, many or most of which they weren't even credited for, so they're clearly non-notable, as least as far as the data from IMDB shows, and the articles don't pass our notability requirements.

While you were deleting Holiday Plaza, I was editing it to remove the attack part. The whole thing wasn't an attack article, so I think that editing is better than speedy deletion.

The webpage you linked to is by all means a new page. Not only the image was uploaded in 2011/12, the page as a whole has no history saved in the Wayback Machine, while the rest of the site is there. Searching the 8,335 URLs that have been captured for this domain not one of them includes the word "museum". Looking at the website's history, this is how it looked in Nov 2010, and this was then the same page that now includes the Dubai Museum page, it has no link or mention whatsoever of the museum.
If you have a look at other sections at the website you'll find many parts here and there taken from WP articles. This website has been lifting it's contents off Wikipedia ever since its inception. Compare this to this.
All the details describing the museum and fort I wrote after my personal visits to the museum, other information is cited. Our article is not new, the history of the article should show clearly how it's been built over the years, and not with one copy-paste action. People steal from WP without attribution all the time, and it seems odd to assume that we are the infringers just because others have copied the article word for word and ignored our attribution requirement. I hope you can restore the article as soon as possible. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 15:21, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
You deleted my article Consumer Debt Relief and I'm not sure that your reason is correct...I did not intend to advertise but only to provide a clear understanding of this developing industry and referenced both an industry certification body and an industry trade association only to advise consumers to refer to these groups, these trade groups do not receive any benefit from consumer reference and inquiries.
I spent considerable time and would like to at least reference the article somewhere to "save" so that I can ask further input from your editors and re-submit as I think this information is very helpful to consumers.

Hello there, This is Demetri.
I saw you flagged my revised article for deletion and this has been my third failed attempt at uploading due to G11. Please understand I am an avid user of Wikipedia and want nothing more then to contribute my article in a respectful, neutral fashion, alas I manage to fail at every attempt.
Live chat has fruited me no help so I was wondering if you may be able to direct me the right way. I understand even on my third revision, perhaps the "promotion" problem comes from the Magazine links, however I felt it was somewhat necessary, as I read many articles from other bands and a large amount of their credibility is presented by their quotes and reviews from credible magazines and websites, which are also noted on their pages.
Could you perhaps tell me what tones are incorrect for the Simeon Soul Charger article and what links are innapropriate? Your help would be graciously accepted and appreciated.

Hi, the article 2011-12 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino is about a volleyball league season in Peru, the league was originaly divided in two parts Apertura and Clausura. The "apertura"'s first round was on the article 2011-12 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino - Apertura First Round but, this week it was announced that the Clausura part of the tournament would not be played and the Apertura would be the only tournament played.
After that I copied the content of 2011-12 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino - Apertura First Round to 2011-12 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino - First Round and added a redirection on the first article, my mistake i didn't know how to move pages, you deleted both.

Please review your deletion of this article for G12...

You closed Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2012_January_6#Template:POV-check-section as "redirect". However, it was obviously the intention of all the editors involved in the discussion (including the nominator) that the three templates would be replaced by their more general counterparts with a "section" parameter. However, {{ COI}} doesn't have such a parameter. I made a sandbox version, and added an editprotected request. If you have time to do so, please copy the sandbox to the main template page.
Note also that {{ POV-check}} did have a section parameter, but that its code was flawed, mixing the "section" parameter with a talkpage section parameter. It took a quite some edits to the template and some 30+ articles to bring some order into the chaos. Debresser ( talk) 03:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Dear Fastily,

Dear Fastily,
Thank you very much for your response. I believe there was a misunderstanding which I would like to clear up - the article Oxford University Georgian Society was not simply reposted and hence in violation of G4. Issues raised in the Oxford Georgian Society Discussion page were specifically addressed, and the article is now well referenced and cited with numerous external sources and reading materials, which was the issue with the previous article (all information and chapters with only one reference has been removed). I believe its an interesting topic that has tens of analogous articles on Wikipedia (Oxford University Polish Society, Oxford University Greek Society, Oxford University Russian Society etc). I would thus like to kindly ask for the article Oxford University Georgian Society to be reinstated. Please let me know if you require any additional information / clarification. Best regards,

I am not an expert with wikipedia protocol but you recently deleted a page for Hannah Mills. My issue is that happy sailor moved the origional article to make way for his own which I question.

The deleted Hiroshi Kato (aikido) page was not my page, but I wanted to refer to it. Kato Sensei is one of the very few living direct students of the founder of aikido. Aside from this historical importance, he is an inspired teacher of the art. Since the concern that led to deletion seemed to be a concern that no-one cares to use that page, I thought it would be appropriate to point out that I do, and others like me (any kind of martial art student) might like to as well. Especially when Kato Sensei, born in 1935, passes away.

On the 17th of December 2011, you deleted the page for Demisexual. I am confused as to why you did this, as you provided no specific reasons — and last I remember the page for Demisexual contained adequate coverage and definition of Demisexuality with no obvious errors or invalid information/links.
I have looked further into the 'G8: Redirect to a deleted or non-existent page' but I am still to discover why it was exactly deleted (what precise content resulted in grounds for deletion? Etc) I cannot find other informational sources external to Wikipedia that provide a precise and elaborate explanation of Demisexuality like Wikipedia did; so this deletion troubles me to no end.
Any information you can provide on the matter would be very appreciated, and I would; of course, be very relieved if this page was restored and/or errors corrected so it may remain a tangible page to all.

Hi Fastily, would you mind taking a second look at Gor Mahia F.C.? It has 164 edits going back to 2006, so not in my view an article that couldn't be restored to a pre copyvio version. Especially as the 2006 version was very words by an editor other than the one who did the copyvios. I'd already declined the speedy once and reverted back a few months. Ϣere SpielChequers 14:30, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed you have deleted the Gor Mahia F.C. article due to copyvio. The subject is very important and the article was created over five years ago, so speedy deletion of the article cannot be justified. It would be equally ridiculous if articles on Manchester United or FC Barcelona were instantly deleted just because someone has added copyvio text into them. Could you please restore the page as soon as possible. I think the article was copyvio free just one or two weeks ago. Julius Sahara ( talk)

Dear Fastily,
on January 9th, 2012 you speedily deleted the article about Rachota Timetracker [1] considering it as spam [2].

Rachota Timetracker is a free and open source application which was well known already prior to the article creation.

Why did you delete the page of Emmerdale's Tricia Dingle? I was just looking it up for some information and I see it has gone. She was a popular character from a popular UK serial drama, and had a very memorable exit. People often look up these sort of things, it is not as if she has no links to the show - her husband and grandfather are still in the show and her mother was a big character too. I don't see why this page does not exist when pages of characters of less importance remain. You are essentially deleting information about the history of the show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DesertHotIceCold ( talk • contribs) 00:33, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Resurrection of the discusssion.
Firstly, Fastily is well versed in deletion policy and does not hesitate to delete if it falls under criteria. You could say Fastily acts like a bot sometimes just doing it.
Secondly, archiving is done automatically by a bot named MiszaBotIII and this user's parameters are set to archive after 24 hours of the last comment posted. Since this user's page is loaded up every day by comments, this user feels that this is necessary.
Thirdly, a user does not have to publish a notice of deletion for every object they delete. If it falls under criteria for deletion, it gets deleted. The owner of the object is usually notified but it's not required of admins and editors to notify them. You may wish to check out WP:CSD and WP:AFD for some information about this.
Lastly, you may wish to check out user talk page parameters by scanning either the history or the source for any archive setup. To prevent more agitation if the future, you may want to substitute {{
DNAU}}
to prevent the thread from being archived or {{SUBST:DNAU|NUMBER}}
where number equals the number of days long the thread should be retained after the last thread.
@Fastily, this thread may need to be manually archived now because I give the Do Not Archive Until instruction to a user, MiszaBotIII fails to archive that thread.
I hope this information is of some help to you.— cyberpower ( Chat)( WP Edits: 511,570,803) 21:31, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

I noticed that there are 18 modern US stamps; the first 18 images found at Category:Postage stamps of the United States, that are being used purely as decoration without any critical commentary. I'm off on a wikibreak and will likely not be visiting much, so perhaps you would have a look and maybe nominate for deletion. If you do drop me a talkback so I can find them easily if I do log on. Many similarly used stamps have been deleted previously. The fact that such stamp were issued as an honour can easily be made in prose, so they fail WP:NFCC#8 and also WP:NFC#Images #3.

Hi..
When I wrote the Fair-Use text, I made it quite clear that the image of the Stamp was not to identify the person on which the image was placed. It was to illustrate the stamp, and placing it on the individual's Wikipedia page was to note the honor bestowed by the Untied States Postal Service of the individual.
The image of the Commemorative Stamp is being placed on the individual's Wikipedia article page to illustrate the stamp, not the indivudual, which is clearly identified by other images and text in the article. A United States Commemorative Stamp honoring an individual is intended for wide distribution. As such it adds historical significance to the article.
The other images on the page are irrelevant (Criterion 3a), as the image of the stamp it is not on the page to enhance the topic (Criterion 8).
The use of the image of the stamp on the individual's page in compliance with the USPS guidelines that allows fair use to illustrate the stamp in question.

This image is of a United States
postage stamp produced in 1978 or later. The copyright for it is held by the
United States Postal Service. It is believed that the use of postage stamps
qualifies as
fair use under the
copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be
copyright infringement. See
Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Usage that does not fall under fair use requires a
license from the USPS. This includes usage of the stamp's artwork to illustrate its subject, rather than the stamp itself. | |||

Hello Fastily,
I received a speedy deletion on my entry of "Chicago Cultural Plan" with a citation of G11. There is nothing being advertised or promoted here. It is an accurate entry about a historical document that exists in City of Chicago, sanctioned by Mayor Harold Washington in 1986 and re-sanctioned by Mayor Rahm Emmanuel just recently in 2012.
I included a link to the original document and had planned on adding a link to the the new civic document once completed.
These documents are of public record in Chicago City Hall and were created by the citizens of Chicago.
I request approval of my entry.

You deleted the sandbox for Stanley Kubrick, previously found here [ [29]].

I copied the text of the article to Stanley Kubrick/Sandbox in order to undertake some moderate deletions. I wanted to get some feedback from other editors before I deleted significant portions of the article. I understand that maybe the page I created was in the wrong namespace or something, that is why I asked on the talk page for Stanley Kubrick if I was "doing it right." However, your actions were not helpful, because you deleted all of my edits, as well as the material that other editors were storing on the talk page.

Hi,
I just logged in to Wikipedia for the first time in about a month and discovered that a photograph I had uploaded, Gagnongrave.jpg, was deleted by yourself after a 2 week notice. Another editor provided this rationale:
3D artwork, US location, no date of creation, have to assume no FoP.
First, the photograph was not 3D artwork. I personally went to Arlington National Cemetery and took the photographs of Rene Gagnon's headstone. Rather than upload two files, I simply made one with both side by side. Second, there's no apparent key to the other editing lingo, so I'm not sure what "FoP" stands for or the relevancy of the photograph having a location in the United States. I can't speak to the date of creation data, as the page is now gone (I can't see what information I had added when I uploaded the image) and the photograph was taken and file created and uploaded sometime in 2006. Third, the Rene Gagnon (a flag raiser at Iwo Jima) is now missing a photograph that had illustrated his burial at Arlington National Cemetery.
Please let me know if I need to request a review of this deletion or if it's something that you can remedy yourself.
Thank you

Hi Fastly, I'd like to disagree with your deletion of the Verismic Software article, explain my stance and ask you to reinstate the article. I believe the Verismic article does not fall foul of the G11 rule. The article is factual, referenced with reliable outside sources and written with a neutral point of view.
I realized that every article must stand on it's own and not be compared with others, but in order to prove my good faith, I'd like you to look at two articles: 1E and Verdiem. Both were written by their directors of marketing and neither declared their COI. I feel that both violate the NPOV and yet they have been up since Sept 2009 and June 2010 respectively.

Hi Fastily,
I checked out the resonance of Too Late the Hero's latest publication Statement of Purpose and I found out that this album was criticized by many well-known newspapers and magazines like The Aquarian Weekly ( Link), Allmusic ( Link), Sputnikmusic ( Link), The New Review ( Link) and Spirit of Metal webzine ( Link) The Revenge was reviewed by Examiner.com (John Smith: Too Late The Hero - "The Revenge" July 20, 2011)
They toured together with Lamb of God ( Link) and toured alongside acts like Us, From Outside, Memphis May Fire and This Romantic Tragedy through US and CN ( Link), and played at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival ( Link)

Hey Fastily, just noticed that your bot was flagging some of my images as "Flagging orphaned free file" even though they are not orphaned - then after a day or so removing the tag. For example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Downloads4.png - I think it's because I randomly choose one of my images at User:Download/navigator to display and it's only recognizing the randomly chosen one. Might be something to look into, - down load ׀ email 00:59, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Hey, some images are being tagged to move to Commons that are already tagged to never be moved to Commons (like this one). Also, images are having their orphan tag removed that are still orphaned ( for example). ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 02:37, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

After the unnecessary and ongoing drama at the admin noticeboard, I've decided to follow your example and unabashedly have 'borrowed' your subpage Fastily/E at User:Skier Dude/D. If this is problematic, just drop me a note. I have added one thing you might want to add as well - a section BLPPROD. I had to add a note that I don't have access to the OTRS database (was refused quite a while ago and was left with a very negative experience). I had to add User:Skier Dude/O as people are constantly misreading the bottom of the image description pages :( Again - thanks for the work on those subpages :) Skier Dude ( talk) 06:29, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you said the issue with Fbot's editing rate was "resolved" after I blocked it recently. While you did bring the speed down, the bot is still not in compliance with the requirements. I'll quote it here so we can be clear:
Bots' editing speed should be regulated in some way; subject to approval, bots doing non-urgent tasks may edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots doing more urgent tasks may edit approximately once every five seconds.
I've emboldened the section that applies. In the last 750 edits or so of Fbot, I picked 3 random sections to count how many edits it is doing in a minute. It varied between 20 to 30+. Now, in the quote above, it says urgent tasks may allow for once every five seconds. Your bot has been making an edit every 2-3 seconds and I am doubtful if what its doing can be termed as "urgent". Please fix whatever you need to. Thanks! Killiondude ( talk) 18:39, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure what the bot speed issue is. If the bot is flagged, it shouldn't be causing any problems for RecentChanges, etc. And unless the bot is doing something controversial or something that requires manual review, the edit rate should be completely irrelevant, right?
The reason for the speed guidelines is to prevent flooding of RecentChanges and other venues and to ensure that bots don't do an ungodly amount of damage before someone has the chance to notice. In this case, it looks like the edit rate is irrelevant. Am I missing something? -- MZMcBride ( talk) 01:03, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

In general, you want to keep redirects around unless they're broken or completely misleading or useless. If nothing else, the redirects prevent people from re-using certain poor titles. But primarily it's a matter of trying as hard as possible to keep links working. In old e-mails, sexts, message board posts, and elsewhere on and off the Web. I speak with a bit of experience and familiarity with the topic. ;-) I haven't really delved into the specifics here; I'm simply making a general comment about deleting redirects. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 01:07, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
This article was deleted by you citing G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion. I would appreciate if you could take a second look. From my side, I'd like to add that TamoGraph Site Survey is well-known product among WLAN professionals; it is taught about in vendor-neutral CWNP books and courses, and it is made by a company references to which one can find in hundreds of online publications and dozens of books (e.g. CWAP, CWNA, or CWTS study guides), so notability doesn't appear to be an issue, nor was it cited as a reason for deletion. So apparently you meant advertising or promotion only, of which I can't find any traces in my text. I tried to be totally factual, as I was in my articles about similar products by other companies, for example Ekahau Site Survey. Could you either revise your deletion decision or tell me what specific parts of my article sounded like advertisement and what, in your opinion, should be changed? Thank you.

Imagine my shock at looking up the page I contributed to and finding it was deleted. I spent hours trying to maneuver through the Wiki pages to create my contributions and thought they were informational. The process of Wiki seems flawed if an editor isn't even given a warning and explanation as to why their page might be deleted. Instead, it's just taken off. Are deleted pages even archived somewhere so that I can retrieve it and redo it? Please let me know. I certainly didn't save it because I couldn't believe it would go missing.

Dear Fastily (I believe we've interacted a few times),
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

While I don't normally second guess closes on things like TfD, I believe that you have misapplied SNOW on this discussion. Your close, as written, would seem to be unfair to those who raised the multiple valid reasons for deletion. It also doesn't seem to fall into the definition as listed on the SNOW page. As this will most likely be listed in the template of prior deletion discussions on the talk page , I would ask that you reconsider, and refactor, your close as a simple delete decision, and not as a Snowball result.

Dear Fastily,
My request was removed by Miszabot III on the 19th Jan before you managed to reply. Here is my inquiry and hope you'll have time to look into it. Much appreciated:
Thank you very much for your previous response. I believe there was a misunderstanding which I would like to clear up - the article Oxford University Georgian Society was not simply reposted and hence in violation of G4. It was initially removed due to lack of references (please refer to Discussion Page) this has since been specifically addressed, and the article is now well referenced and cited with numerous external sources and reading materials. Current situation does not allow for this topic to ever appear on Wikipedia which makes the encyclopaedia less complete. Its an interesting topic that has tens of analogous articles on Wikipedia (Oxford University Polish Society, Oxford University Greek Society, Oxford University Russian Society etc). I would thus like to kindly ask for the article Oxford Georgian Society / Oxford University Georgian Society to be reinstated. If you believe there are still not enough references and sources, please let me know. Please let me know if you require any additional information / clarification.

There's no question that Taylor Business Institute is notable. It's been advertised, in commercials, ads, in the news, FOR DECADES. It's a business college, fairly well known. I did not write much, at first, but I was gonna get to it. You and others SIMPLY DID NOT GIVE ME THE CHANCE to expand or add context etc. Why not? Why be so hasty, quick, and knee-jerk? I barely wrote it minutes ago, and it's gone already, simply because it was a stub. Taylor Business Institute is sourced, known, and notable. Copiously so. Why do that? It seems like certain Wikipedians who deal with this matter are trigger-happy with the deletion button, without carefully or fairly or intelligently considering the matter, or giving any time. Others could have added to the stub too. So what? It just needed some expanding. But TBI is notable. That's not really debatable. Cheers. Hashem sfarim ( talk) 12:48, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Hiya! I was wondering if you could possibly restore File:Ats-3_test_tx.ogg?

Hi there,
I have been trying to submit an article 'Marathon Box' and you have deleted it as 'G3: Vandalism'!!!
I understand that Wikipedia has many guidelines and I'm not about to dispute them! However I have two queries, firstly what can I do to rectify this, it's a genuine thing, admittedly the personality/web presence etc has a fairly niche following of 300-400, mostly in Wales and Northern England but never the less we as friends and followers wanted to add a page on his/her antics, hence I spent quite some time going through all the codes etc to submit it!!! Secondly, I appreciate it has been 'deleted but is it still stored somewhere so I can at least retrieve it for myself?
Thanks for you time and happy editing!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marathonbox ( talk • contribs) 10:57, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi!!! A little puzzled by your point!?! If you read the sentence I volunteered the information because I don't think it's a huge amount (I assumed the word "niche" was a giveaway). I appreciate the whole point of this system is that the more experienced contributors, like yourself, are responsible for keeping an eye on the efforts of the new(in our case first time) contributors, but it might be constructive to actually be... Constructive. The phrase you've jumped on was actually part of a question, directed at someone with experience and knowledge of the subject in the hope that they may actually be able to help. I also appreciate, that there are all sorts of guidelines in place to make Wikipedia the fantastic resource it is, and in my opinion one of the reasons it is so superior is the breadth of subject matter. As l said in my previous comment, I appreciate that 'Marathon Box' is essentially a blogger with a relatively small following(to be fair the numbers were Facebook related, the blog is actually quite popular) but those of us who do follow it, enjoy it and thought it was worthy of note. The notability standards are fair enough and as I said earlier, I'm not about to start disputing the guidelines which have made Wikipedia what it is, but I do find the air of superiority in your reply a bit random and completely unnecessary. For future reference you might like to consider "Wikipedia has notability standards, you might be as well reading them". Finally, could you please provide an equally patronising answer to my second point as to whether the original text is still retrievable? As myself and the other fans who discussed submitting it the first place would not only enjoy being replied to as if we are idiots but would also like to keep a copy of the text. Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marathonbox ( talk • contribs) 21:54, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Cheers for that, although I'm mildly disappointed that you answered my strop informatively and as if dealing with... a grown up!!! I have read through some more of the rules ("Raaaa raaaa raaaa you should have read and memorised them all before daring to try and pollute Wikipedia's sacred inner sanctum" - Yes, you are perhaps correct bwilkins, but there are quite a lot and this was my first experience of it and I had understood the open editing principle to be a system where the more experienced helped the newbies) since my last rant and it's fairly clear that this was never an appropriate subject(incidentally the link you sent me is much clearer than the majority of the guidelines I've read so far). As a final point, could an admin please send/e-mail me the text?!? (If that's my new friend, could you also include instructions on how to open, read the e-mail? I'll leave my iPad switched on, so should be able to manage that part all by my self) Thanks again, Another Idiot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marathonbox ( talk • contribs) 00:07, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello again!!! No afraid not, although to be fair I realised fairly early on that signing up as the name I was going to submit wasn't the brightest idea!

Hi fastily. I am a new user from Greece that I am trying to "promote" better the Greek region of Messinia. By word promote I mean re write or add content always within wikipedia standarts about History and traditions of my region. At this concept I tried to add Navarino Icons a Greek brand that has traditional Greek products under the category of Category:Brand name food products. I haven't finished adding the article with a friend of mine and realize that you delete. Please alow me to add the whole article for your cosideration and give me suggestions of what to change in order no to look like an advertisment. I do not want to look as advertisment either but I amnot en experience user. So maybe the reference I used was not the best ones. but I think is much better tah similar article in this category. So just asing you to let it up and let me and the community to shape it and make it better.
Thank you very much I hope you will find some time to reply and help me out.

Greetings Fastily, Thank you for dealing with the deletion of copyrighted image File:Eurovision Selectia Nationala 2012.PNG ( as shown on this deletion log). I have deepest concerns that the user, who I named above, may be a serial copyvio. Luciann has uploaded several images over the last 12 months, all of which are based upon the non-free Eurovision Song Contest images; which they appears to manipulate, and then adds licencing tags stating the work belongs to them. On their main Wikipedia page, the user has had several warnings about this, and yet they still continues to violate copyright legislations. The same user has had File:Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2012.PNG deleted only a few hours ago for the same copyright violation. Plus several other images deleted, all for the same copyvio reason.
This isn't the first time that File:Eurovision Selectia Nationala 2012.PNG has been removed either. On February 3, 2012 the image was nominated for speedy; and subsequently deleted for copyvio on February 11, 2012 (I think you may have deleted that one too). During the nomination process, Luciann personally removed deletion tags, to which they were warned about. With all of these copyright issues cropping up time and time again, I fear that the user may be wandering down a disruptive path unknowingly. Is there any action that should now be taken to prevent further copyvio disruptions from this user? Thank you in advance for your time reading this. Wesley ☀ Mouse 23:29, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

You speedy-deleted Herguan University as a blatant hoax. I believe this was a mistake.

Dear Fastily
If I understand it, you are responsible for deletion of the above page, with a reason "(Expired PROD, concern was: No indication of notability)"
Is that correct?
IMHO the topic is "notable". The standards dscribed here are the subject of a considerable amount of work by a committee of an international standards organisation (the sponsor is the IEEE 11073 Standards Committee of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society), and are the basis of products being certified and promoted by a significant trade body concerned with the interoperabiity of personal health devices (go here and search for "11073" http://www.continuaalliance.org/connected-health-vision.html).
If you can be specific about your concerns then I can attempt to get others involved with the creation and use of these standards to address your concerns.
In the mean time it would be very kind of you to restore the page. You are welcome to contact me for further clarification.

Would you kindly have a look at the uploads of Mythy88 who has uploaded several images whose authors or sources are not himself. Several of the images have clear metadata attributions to someone else. He keeps removing deletion notices and now has started claiming some images as his own work and uploading the same previously tagged images to the commons under the new self claims though with somewhat different names. Besides the usual image deletion notices I have posted a number of tailored detailed warnings and information about permission but he has ignored all advise. I can keep tagging the images both here and on the commons or start making formal deletion nominations but I think he need more than that with an admin's intervention.

I received a message about a week ago that an image (File:Truebinaryclock anthony liekens.png) I uploaded was going to be deleted because it said that there was no proof that the author agreed to the CC Attribution license.

Why was
Wikipedia:Syntaxhighlight deleted? It was a redirect to
mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight GeSHi. Your rationale was that it was a "redirect to a deleted or non-existent page", but its target exists and has not been deleted. I thought the redirect was useful since there is no page on Wikipedia itself about the syntaxhighlight MediaWiki extension that is used on Wikipedia. There is
Template:Syntaxhighlight, but that only explains the template use, i.e. {{
syntaxhighlight}}, and not the tag use, i.e. <syntaxhighlight>

Ummm, why did speedy delete Aunt Bam's Place under G8?
G8 states: Examples include talk pages with no corresponding subject page; subpages with no parent page; image pages without a corresponding image; redirects to invalid targets, such as nonexistent targets, redirect loops, and bad titles; and categories populated by deleted or retargeted templates.
This was NOT a talk page. It was NOT a subpage with no parent page. It was NOT an image page without a corresponding image, hell it wasn't an image at all. It was NOT a redirect etc etc. etc.
The only thing that has been going on is that there's an anon IP who's going around vandalizing pages related to Tyler Perry [36] and s/he has been tagging the Aunt Bam's Page article for speedy deletion for no reason. Or, excuse me, based on the reason that the play "doesn't exist". Now, I'm not THAT familiar with Mr. Perry's ouvre but somehow the fact that you can buy tickets for the play - unless this is some elaborate hoax - [37] suggests that the play exists or is in production or something.
Even if somehow the article was a good candidate for deletion, obviously G8 is NOT the appropriate reason.

Was there a problem with its rationale? You deleted it as an F7. Jheald ( talk) 18:46, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
I see you deleted a cat of this name and date. Was that because it was empty? I am about to upload an article on an aircraft which would populate it, best in a sub-cat Category:British civil utility aircraft 2010–2019 or maybe Category:British sport aircraft 2010–2019. I have not quite decided which off these two would be best but, either way, they need a Category:British aircraft 2010–2019. OK for me to do that, or am I missing something?

Can you please undelete this commons file. I have received appropriate permission through an OTRS ticket. Regards, Steven Zhang Join the DR army! 00:09, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello Fastily, I was hoping to get your opinion on a file. I moved the local File:Travis Doucette 2011.jpg to Commons indirectly through Flickr, where it was immediately deleted. I left a note on the admin's page where it was ignored. Could you please take a look at the image and uploader history and tell me your opinion? ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 05:08, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Hey! How exactly can a discussion with three "keep"s and two "delete"s result in deletion? As you see, people are divided in their opinions and it's a mixed bag. It should not have been deleted because it was used as a fair use image on the film article and accepted by many on the actress' article. Clearly there is no consensus to go by, and I kindly request that you restore it. Shahid • Talk2me 08:25, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
We might have had different opinions, no doubt. I also commend the way ideas get distributed in a discussion, but each and every opinion should have a justification from the user who expresses it. There are certain ways to think, and policies (or at least I think so) cannot be compromised for the views of an editor. If you do think the image contributes significantly more to the article which will be an impossible task for prose, kindly elaborate your point. Your last point was irrelevant, again, pardon me, but deleting an image and supporting a policy is certainly a contribution to the project. Best regards. X.One SOS 14:11, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Fastily, do I understand you do not wish to reply to my messages? I find it frustrating that I refer to an admin and request that he take responsibility for his acts, and instead they invite other editors to settle the discussion, and refrain from making any comments on their own talk page on a topic that is essentially a complainst on an unjustified deletion they have performed. You are the one who has to give me answers, not others, because you are the one who's actually deleted the file. I'm not the only person who has been displeased with your management on FfD, as you can see above, and I'm even more surprised at the way you have been evading the issue on this very talk page, which is most disheartening. I'm sorry, but this is not how I would expect an admin to act (basically avoiding a discussion), and I feel rather silly and uncomfortable with it. If you are not quite sure of how to handle the situation, then I would again request you to restore the file, because no consensus was there, and I explained more than once that basically everything concerning such issues boils down to personal opinion, which you must have considered back then when you deleted the file in question, while essentially ignoring what others had to say (and ironically, now you do just the same). I don't mind replacing the file with another one, but this is not done in such manner (and I totally accept the deletion of the two other files which you had deleted, by the way). Please forgive me if I come across as a random badgerer; this is certainly not my intention, but please do try to understand my position. Shahid • Talk2me 23:02, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Fastily. You deleted the redirect Guru Ravidas under CSD G6 (Housekeeping and routine non-controversial cleanup) following the move of the article Guru Ravidas to Guru Ravidass. However, there are at least three reasons why I can't see this as routine and non-controversial. Firstly, the spelling with a single s is commonly used, so it is a very likely search term, and so a redirect is likely to be useful. Secondly, the article has existed at that spelling for more than four years. It is therefore very likely that external links exist to the article, whether on external web sites, on individual computers, or wherever. For this reason, when a page has existed for a long time like this, it is almost never a good idea to delete the redirect, even if the redirect seems to be an unlikely search term (which, as I have indicated, is not so in this case). That is, in fact, why CSD R3 specifies recently created redirects. Thirdly, there are 179 internal links to the page from other Wikipedia pages, and they were all orphaned by the deletion. Again, after an article has existed for so long, this is likely to be the case
My immediate response to this was to restore the deleted redirect and write the message above to inform you. However, having written the message, I have looked again, and I can see no justification for the move. No reason for the move was given, and a Google search for "Guru Ravidas" produces 915,000 hits, as against 741,000 for "Guru Ravidass". I am therefore going to revert the redirect, but I thought I might as well let you have my thoughts on the redirect anyway, now that I have written them. Please let me know if you think I am wrong, or if you have any other comment you think worth making. JamesBWatson ( talk) 12:48, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello,
On December 1st 2011 the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Page was deleted from Wiki by Fastily. This event is the longest running competition on ESPN other than sports center and we feel needs to have a page dedicated to it. The original page had information on the property, winners by year, as well as other content about the events. This seems to still be present on some international WIKI pages, but does not appear on EN or US versions. If possible, we would like to have this page reactivated. Please contact me with questions - brad.sorgen@stihl.us. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.230.240.34 ( talk) 18:16, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

I'd just like some clarification. The FfD had no !votes (other than the nom), the concern raised was "Invalid FUR" but no explanations (despite resquests) was offered, and at first glance, the FUR seemed perfectly valid. The file was deleted, but the debate not closed and the article using it still links to it. Thanks in advance for clarifying the situation. :) Salvidrim! 08:21, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Swifty is a bit excited, and doesn't seem to understand the difference between a warning for edit-warring and a warning for vandalism. There's been a substantial edit-warring problem here, but Swifty seems to have taken your warning against one of the participants in an edit-war as an endorsement for his point of view (which seems to be that the Fort Worth Star Telegram, allmusic, and BMI are unreliable sources). If you can take the time to try and calm him down, I'd appreciate it. I cleaned the licensing problems out and let my view be known, but, having used my admin bit, I'm pretty much out of the picture for further edits.— Kww( talk) 20:03, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Fastily, you deleted my image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Violent-crime-rates-UK-1981-to-2007.png .
This was a mistake because the reason it was deleted (no evidence of permission from the image's creator) does not apply to this image, as I stated in the image information. I created this image from publicly available data, specifically for Wikipedia. I was warned that the image may be deleted, so I responded to the email address I was given to show that I made the image myself (Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 9:32 AM):
To: permissions-en@wikimedia.org
"Dear Wikimedia permissions people,
I notice the message saying my image will be deleted, unless I email this address. The image ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Violent-crime-rates-UK-1981-to-2007.png ) was created by me. I thought I made this clear on the upload, but I'm new to this process so I probably missed something. Please show me what I need to do to show that I created it myself. I plan to create and upload more images for Wikipedia.
Many thanks,
Robin"
I plan to make many graphs for Wikipedia, but won't if they keep getting deleted. Please tell me what I need to do to show that this is my image and that I give permission, other than what I've already done. Be gentle, as I'm new to Wikipedia media content creation.

You, along with Oniongas and Espresso Addict, deleted the article 'Camp Agawam'. Unlike the others, however, you also deleted the picture that went with it separately. Why?
Your reason for the deletion of the article was the 'advertising' policy violation. This was not intentional, and I do not have a separate copy of the article. Why didn't you warn me first?

I deleted the image that I created under my request. I wonder if the image meets WP:NFCC#8 and #3a. This can help you decide: Wikipedia:Media copyright questions/Archive/2012/January#Images of Hamilton Camp. To be honest, the image that I uploaded was of the 1970 episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show; the infobox image is the 2005 photo from the album cover.

Hi again Fastily, I am still trying to resolve the deletion of the Alice Smith School Wikipedia page. I have now sent two emails to the OTRS team. Is there anything else I can do?

Dear Fastily,
My request was removed by Miszabot III on the 19th Jan before you managed to reply. Here is my inquiry and hope you'll have time to look into it. Much appreciated:
Thank you very much for your previous response. I believe there was a misunderstanding which I would like to clear up - the article Oxford University Georgian Society was not simply reposted and hence in violation of G4. It was initially removed due to lack of references (please refer to Discussion Page) this has since been specifically addressed, and the article is now well referenced and cited with numerous external sources and reading materials. Current situation does not allow for this topic to ever appear on Wikipedia which makes the encyclopaedia less complete. Its an interesting topic that has tens of analogous articles on Wikipedia (Oxford University Polish Society, Oxford University Greek Society, Oxford University Russian Society etc). I would thus like to kindly ask for the article Oxford Georgian Society / Oxford University Georgian Society to be reinstated. If you believe there are still not enough references and sources, please let me know. Please let me know if you require any additional information / clarification.

Can you restore the deleted talk page? Here's what happened.
Shakespeare's Life was moved to William Shakespeare's life under an uncontroversial move request. However, I have been editing that page, and the move was made without discussion. I tried to move the page back to the original name, but it wouldn't let me until I moved the talk page. I was successful in moving the the talk page with the edit summary "Shakespeare is commonly and universally known by his surname only", but I still for some reason couldn't move the main page back and requested (I thought) help in doing so. So now the talk page is deleted and the main page is still misnamed. Tom Reedy ( talk) 13:45, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I see you deleted this because there was no free alternative photo available. What makes you think this photo is available for a price? Or is available at all in other than the public domain? I obtained the photo from public articles, there is no evidence that the photo is available in any other way, and, as I wrote today, it was probably associated with (and published as part of) a Government project whose resources were in the public domain. Also, no one has stepped forward to assert copyright violation (although I recognize that a lack of complaint is less relevant to my argument, given WP policies concerning copyright). Since there is no evidence that copyright applies to this photograph, the deletion should be reverted. David Spector ( user/ talk) 02:54, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Fastily. You state: "Under Wikipedia non-free content criterion #1, any non-free/copyrighted file which could be replaced by existing (or easily/readily create-able) free alternatives are strictly prohibited on Wikipedia. While you may not personally possess the means to locate/create a freely-licensed alternative, the omission of non-free content whenever possible is intended to encourage individuals with the means and ability to create/locate such a file, to upload that file to Wikipedia."
Please could you indicate the nature of the "existing (or easily/readily create-able) free alternative" to this image that you envision. I do not believe that such a free alternative exists, as I indicated in the image justification section. Thanks. Martin ( talk) 19:31, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi. The article Richard Abanes was deleted a few months ago, due to, apparently, notability concerns. I think he is a pretty important author.

Hi Fastily. I'm copying this message which I left for you at Commons, as I wasn't sure if you'd see it there today. Anyhow, I saw you deleted File:Deems Taylor.jpg for no copyright permission after 8 days. I assume it was the one by Carl Van Vechten from the Library of Congress [46] which is PD [47]. I uploaded it again via the Upload Wizard as File:Deems Taylor portrait by Carl Van Vechten.jpg, but I and/or the "Wizard" seem to have made a hash of it. It now has what I hope is the right license and source information but ended up with 2 descriptions. Could you check it and see if I've used the right permission and perhaps fix the goofy description section? Best, Voceditenore ( talk) 11:57, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a new admin and propose to undelete an image, but would be grateful if you would check first that it's appropriate for me to do so. File:PigottStreetPlaque.jpg was uploaded by N12345n who later changed to use the account LoopZilla, as declared on both user pages. It seems to have been uploaded to Wikipedia, then copied to commons, then deleted from commons and then from Wikipedia due to doubts over the identity of this IP edit.
The deletion discussion Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2012 January 6#File:PigottStreetPlaque.jpg refers to the Commons account AtelierJoly, whose user page explicitly identifies that account as jointly used by the same named individual editor as above plus another named person.
I know for a fact that there is nothing amiss over this image. If I restore it will it be sufficient to summarise the above on the file page? I expect to be able to contact the uploader(s) if they would need to make any further declarations. – Fayenatic L (talk) 22:28, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Therefore, it seems to me that the "recently created article" rational cannot be used to delete the article.

Dear Fastily
I as a member of the wiki community, member of the copy editors guild, member of the linguistics project and multiple working groups within wikipedia as well as a professional linguist am quite irritated and irate over the fact that you dare delete an article and label it a hoax without even so much as contacting the author or leaving a comment on the talk page requesting clarification. What exactly is your academic or professional background that affords you the justification for doing such?
Restore the page. I cannot do that for some reason because of the way you deleted it nor do I feel I should have to waste my time reentering all the information and typing out all the links and such.
I am so pissed off right now. I open my computer having taken the time while out to locate my list of sources to add references to an article I took the time to add to our body of linguistic articles only to find that earlier work deleted without cause and my efforts labeled as "clearly a hoax".
The only thing that is clearly a hoax here is that you put any effort or consideration into performing the duties of an editor with the slightest diligence. Drew.ward ( talk) 03:54, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
In linguistics, '''verject''' refers to that portion of an utterance that is neither [[Subject_(grammar)|subject]] nor [[Object_(grammar)|object]] and conveys verbal information including [[Grammatical_tense|tense]], [[Grammatical_aspect|aspect]], [[Grammatical_mood|mood]], perfection, [[Grammatical_polarity|polarity]], and [[Voice_(grammar)|voice]].

At Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 February 14 you have closed a number of nominated files as delete despite there having been no discussion whatsoever. This appears to me to be in conflict with Wikipedia:Deletion policy as well as Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators. Could you perhaps shed some light on your actions, perhaps with references to some guideline entries I may have missed, to admin discussions or precedents that would support your line of action? For the record, I realize that some of the nominated files had been orphaned and would be eligible for speedy deletion as such, but for others again I can not see any reason how a discussion could be forfeited. __ meco ( talk) 11:40, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
It seems SFW-XL was deleted as well, rendering the entire series on Passage Research Marketing, Seattle Filmworks, ECN-2 processing a jumbled mess. Since none of the editors of these articles seem to have any relevent knowledge, I really have to ask, why would you meddle in something which you have no firsthand knowledge of? I ask that SFW-XL and Double Exposure, Ltd. Laboratory be restored, referencing C-41 and Dwaynes Photo for reference of comparable institutions of similar importance. Further, I must insist that these pages be left alone by editors who don't 'specialize in photography, photofinishing, or filmmaking related subjects. I stick to categories such as these because I am familiar with them.

Hi, you have speedily deleted Chuckie (DJ) because it apparently was "Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.djchuckie.com/about". I cannot access the article's history anymore, so I am not sure, but I think I created that article in december 2009. When I did, I translated the article on the Dutch-language wikipedia to English. I had a look at the about-page linked by you, and in my memory it looks nothing like the text I translated. If the text you encountered on the article was really similar to the about-page, then I must assume that a the copyright-infringing text was added by a later edit. If so, the article should not have been deleted, just reverted to an earlier version. Is it possible for you to check earlier versions and see if this is the case? Or should I be asking this on WP:DRV? Thanks Mtcv ( talk) 11:29, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Fastily, this is an old story and not very important, but I wanted to raise a point about the redirect you deleted here. The user attempted to place this page in their user space but used the wrong title. Another editor moved it to its likely name but did not notify the creator. You then deleted the redirect as implausible, also without notification.
Again, it is not very important, but two unfortunate things came together with this string of actions: an article in main space which was clearly not ready, and a newbie editor who likely had no easy way of figuring out that their article was not deleted (as the user talk page says) but lives happily in main space. -- Pgallert ( talk) 18:54, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Fastily! I have a question for you, since you are an admin, and I know very very little about WikiProjects. A relatively new editor, User:TBrandley, has been creating a bunch of non-notable pages and categories, many which have been deleted or redirected. (See his talk page for more info on that.) A few editors have tried to mention GNG and such to him, on his talk page and at AfDs, but he doesn't seem to get it. He has just created a new WikiProject WP:WikiProject Programming Blocks and related categories Category:WikiProject Programming Blocks Category:Top-importance programming block articles, Category:High-importance programming block articles, Category:Mid-importance programming block articles, Category:Low-importance programming block articles, etc, and templates Template:WikiProject Programming Blocks/class, Template:Infobox programming block. As I stated, I really don't know much about WikiProjects, but it seems that there is a process for proposal of new projects, which I am pretty sure was not done. I'm not sure really what to do, but I wanted to alert someone before this gets out of hand. Maybe I'm off-base, and Programming Blocks really needs its own project? I have no knowledge of the subject. Can you help or provide some advice? Thanks a bunch. -- Logical Fuzz ( talk) 01:03, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Fastily
I'm a little exasperated at the wholesale changes made by you to my wiki page & your 'FAQ' explanations don't satisfy me in this instance so I'd like to engage with you on this. Please see here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Lewis_Gordon_Pugh. These changes were made on Feb 14, after I'd spent sometime creating them & setting up the appropriate clearance on Commons.
You have removed 4 captioned images from my page. All 4 images were licenced under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported licence. They are my images, I am their creator. They in no way differ from all my other images uploaded to Commons & licenced in the same way. Please explain to me why these have been singled out, & why you deem permission to be inadequate? I am reluctant to have to email Wiki commons to release them as I feel that I shouldn't have to more than double-up on the work required to reinstate them. I really don't understand how I have violated protocol & what entitles you (non-owner, non-creator, non-licensee) to override my editorial control dealing with my content.
If you believe your actions to be fair, please explain why & clarify, then, the licence under which these images should be held in order for them to happily, fairly & legally exist up there on my page.

I've asked you some time ago to be careful with deletion of user talkpages. I now noticed that you deleted User talk:Lkbunker as 'talkpage of a non-existent user'. Although I can see that as a valid reason when some vandal creates the talkpage of a user who does not exist, it is not when the talkpage is a redirect because the user was renamed. When you delete such pages, the signatures that the editor left before the rename and that link to the user talkpage don't work anymore, and tracking of the remark becomes difficult. I know you do a lot of good work with the deletions, but please slow down and take proper care of page histories when you delete them. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 04:29, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Fastily, the image was kept as it was the only image of its type and their was no other free image available, and as it was also a historical image. The image was put for deletion somewhere in mid January 2012 as far as I could remember but it was decided to be kept due to the following reasons that I stated above.

Hi Fastily, I was wondering what kind of licensing information was missing from the file linked above. You can still read the FUR, so I probably don't need to post it here. I listed both the source and copyright holder (as much as was published). It appears the bot that handles this tagging sometimes doesn't read the template I use correctly, so it may tag files incorrectly. Crisco 1492 ( talk) 16:58, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi again!
I finally got around to reading the text of Gift of the Givers that you pasted to your talk page. I now realize why you deleted it! Someone from the organisation had been puffing it up very badly, but because it's been deleted, I can't go and sort through the page history to find the last good edit and keep the useful stuff to improve the page. Can you please undelete it, revert to my last edit and drop a note on my talk page? I'm unfortunately not as active as I used to be, so the speedy delete slipped past me in a time when I was out of my home country for work.

Hi, This upload has been deleted twice I suspect because I keep messing up on the copyright. The image is a family snapshot, provided by the authors daughter and has been used widely in many publications. It was taken by a family member who is dead. I have resubmitted it as Public Domain and now added a copyright tag PD-Pre1978. Could you please provide some guidance? Is this how it should be tagged so it does not get deleted? When (date) was the photo taken and where (country) was it taken? Also, when did the photographer (year) die? -FASTILY (TALK) 00:20, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Okay apparently no one wants to follow the rules when it comes to this song Rimes is most known for the song not Mack or anyone else. As I keep point out to them the sources can be contradicted plus no source states that Mack ever released the song as a single. The page needs to be restored back to Blue (LeAnn Rimes song) instead of Blue (Bill Mack song) as it follows WP:COMMON since Rimes is most known for the song. But no one will listen and people want to do what they want and tell me what to do like they got any business too.
Don't go off on any more tangents. Seems to me it would be rewarding for you to honour your "Retired" banner, to go away for a bit to recharge, and then come back refreshed sometime in the future.
And from what I've been told by Status Moriori is and admin and should know better. They wouldn't be admin if they didn't know to follow the rules and use most common known. That's what makes me sick of this site. An admin abusing POWER to get their way. That's messed up. Swifty* talk contribs 17:17, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
When you have a minute, please take a look at this article. Garfield statues. Many of the images there went through FFD and were deleted. Most have been "recycled" under slightly different file names and have gone back to FFD. New ones also sprout up File:SpeedkingBasketballGarfield.jpg. This one File:FirefighterGarfield.jpg has both free and non free licenses, so I'm not sure where to list it as it's been to FFD before. Not sure if the editor needs an explanation about not reuploading files that were deleted for those reasons or what. Would appreciate a bit of help on this. Thanks!

Hi, I know it was deleted under the PROD. But, I'd likme to inguire the reason propesed which had been "Unremarkable E-book, or blog.". And I have to say that,the reason diddnt really seem to make a fair case in my part as "Unremarkable" shouldn't be used in most cases to delete a page, considering this is an encyclopedia, and even with only ~500 copies of this book sold, I think it would help if people learned about this book and mabye figure or notice thing for the good as the author had, and sorry if I sound like I am advertising it XD.

Hi,
You deleted our page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-America_Technology_Center which is a public school page. I did edit the page a few months before you deleted it and just added all the education services we offer. I apologize if it read like an advertisment but I simply listed the services we provided. Facebook loads a page about our based on the Wiki page, before I edited the page it was very very very outdated and was not a represenation of the service we offer to pur taxpayers and stakeholders.

I see you deleted this because there was no free alternative photo available. What makes you think this photo is available for a price? Or is available at all in other than the public domain? I obtained the photo from public articles, there is no evidence that the photo is available in any other way, and, as I wrote today, it was probably associated with (and published as part of) a Government project whose resources were in the public domain. Also, no one has stepped forward to assert copyright violation (although I recognize that a lack of complaint is less relevant to my argument, given WP policies concerning copyright). Since there is no evidence that copyright applies to this photograph, the deletion should be reverted. David Spector ( user/ talk) 02:54, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Fastily. You state: "Under Wikipedia non-free content criterion #1, any non-free/copyrighted file which could be replaced by existing (or easily/readily create-able) free alternatives are strictly prohibited on Wikipedia. While you may not personally possess the means to locate/create a freely-licensed alternative, the omission of non-free content whenever possible is intended to encourage individuals with the means and ability to create/locate such a file, to upload that file to Wikipedia."
Please could you indicate the nature of the "existing (or easily/readily create-able) free alternative" to this image that you envision. I do not believe that such a free alternative exists, as I indicated in the image justification section. Thanks. Martin ( talk) 19:31, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I see that You have deleted Amrita_Institute_of_Medical_Sciences_and_Research_Centre citing it as a advertisement. however, being a native from Cochin, the article is very much needed and it indeed is the biggest medical college in the state of kerala in India. for a country like India, this medical college is the biggest referral centre for a whole state(kerala) and even from neighbouring states. I don't know, if in Americas/Europe such articles are seen as advertisement. but, here it is seen as a charity organization funded by "laughing amma" amritanandamayi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amrita_Institute_of_Medical_Sciences_and_Research_Centre

You recently deleted Template:Lord High Gom Togneme Userbox under CSD G6, presumably in response to a {{ db-g6}} tag added by User:Mootros. Unfortunately, the deletion was not as uncontroversial as Mootros believed, as they did not have consensus to make such major changes to the service award templates, and their changes have broken things. Furthermore, Mootros had copied the content of Template:Lord High Gom Togneme Userbox to another template, Template:Gom Userbox. Deleting the original template lost the attribution for that content. I realise that you weren't to know this, but I felt you should know what's going on.
I have submitted the templates to the Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen to have their histories merged. Since, as I understand things, the administrator who merges the history will be able to see the deleted content, I don't think you need to restore the deleted template. If you know how to merge page histories, your help would be greatly appreciated.
I am still tracing through Mootros's edits to find and fix all the damage; I expect to find more examples of similar problems. (Actually, right now I'm going to bed. I'll continue with this tomorrow.) If you deleted any other templates yesterday because of a tag added by Mootros, you might want to double check those deletions.

Hello,
It has come to my attention that you deleted Multimedia University back in January as a copyright violation. The page actually has a very long history, including a good article nomination, and should have never been deleted this way. Any infringing text (if indeed there is any - its being looked into now) was clearly a later addition.
I'm sure you were probably just in a hurry and made a mistake that day, as I can't imagine you'd be that careless normally. As such, this is just a friendly reminder to be careful with the delete button. It took nearly two months for someone to notice the error on this fairly high profile article. A similar error on a less well-known (but notable) subject might never be corrected since deletions are rarely reviewed.

Dear Fastily
I have now updated the page (off line) on Elaine Shemilt which was deleted. I have deleted much of the info which came from her website and found other sources which are referenced accordingly. I realise that there is still more to do and add, but before I do this I wanted to check that I am on the right lines?
I have pasted the offline version below:
Extended content |
---|
Elaine Shemilt is an artist and researcher, especially known as a fine art printmaker. [1] Her work ranges across a wide variety of media. However hers is not a conventional approach to the medium. According to the art historian and theorist Alan Woods: "Her work ranges across a wide variety of media. Initially it focused on installation, the various printmaking media were used in an attempt to continue and develop the installations by other means. If the event is inevitably lost , a new artwork is launched from it, and as themes and subjects occur and re-occur, their re-generation might usefully be imagined as located within an extended family of images." [2] She is a graduate of Winchester School of Art and the Royal College of Art and has exhibited internationally including Switzerland, Denmark, Holland, Canada, USA, Australia, Italy and Germany including the Hayward and the Institute of Contemporary Art, London; and the Edinburgh Festival. She established the Printmaking Department of the School of Fine Art, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design (University of Dundee) in 1988 and was Course Director of Printmaking from 1988 -2001. She is currently Professor of Fine Art Printmaking and a Professional member of Society of Scottish Artists [3]and was its President from March 2007-2010. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 2000 and of the Royal Geographical Society in 2009. In 2002 she was made a Shackleton Scholar [4] and awarded a Carnegie Scholarship. She is a Trustee of the South Georgia Heritage Trust [5]which was established to promote the environmental protection and habitat restoration of this natural wilderness in the Southern Atlantic. [6] In 1998 she was invited to lead a project to improve the environment of the military base on the Falkland Isles by the the then Commander, Brigadier David Nichols. The experiences of the staff and student team she put together led inevitably, to independent artworks by all. Four years later in 2002 this led to the exhibition, "Traces of Conflict, The Falklands Revisited 1982-2002" at the Imperial War Museum. Shemilt's work in this exhibition was inspired by the abandoned field hospital at Ajax Bay, and according to the Imperial War Museum Keeper Angela Weight Shemilt " was gripped by the aura of a place where the writ of war did not run and young men were tended irrespective of whether they were friend or foe." [7] An important strand of her work involves collaboration between Art and Science. Her work with the Genome Diagram developed by Dr Ian Toth and Dr Leighton Pritchard at the Scottish Crop Research Institute resulted in a portfolio of work including installations, digital animation, prints and music. [8] She has also collaborated with the video artist Stephen Partridge on a number of installations, including "Rush" first exhibited at the Fieldgate Gallery [9], London and the most recent, "Quattro Minuti di Mezzogiorno", a HiDefinition Video installation. Exhibited in Fuoriluogo 15 - Una Regressione Motivata, Limiti Inchiusi Arte Contemporanea, Campobasso, Molise, Italy. December 2010, January 2011. The exhibition included work by Fausto Colavecchia (IT), Douglas Gordon (GB), and was curated by Deirdre MacKenna, Director of Stills - Scotland’s centre for photography in Edinburgh. == References ==

Hi Fastily - I am wanting to appeal the removal of IR100 Award.jpg from the Dacom article. You use the code F7: Violates non-free content criterion #1, meaning:
The issue with this image is two fold, which was covered in the file's talk page: There is no substitute - it was a private award ceremony, that had an official photographer taking the picture, which was subsequently used in the company's press release about the award. The recipient, Daniel Hochman, has since died. The only reference to the award I could find is the company's own statements and press releases from the time the award was given. The significants of the award is that a major musuem of Science and Industry recognized Dacom and it's fax system as a major innovation - the first digital, sub-minute fax machine printing on plain paper. That technology, developed by Dancom, became the foundation for all subsequent fax machines produced.
The point of the photograph is that it provides a reference for the claim. It cannot be replaced, there is no available free equivalent and there is no other "sourced text" that can provide an alternative. Without the photo, the claim cannot be supported - without the claim, the significance of the subject is greatly diminished. This machine was the first of all modern fax machines - and was recognized by the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry as a breakthrough technology.
The other major factor in allowing this image fall under the promotional and publicity categories:
{{
Non-free promotional}}
{{
Non-free promotional}}
It seems to me that this photo is covered by both of these rules - and is certainly not replaceable. This was covered in the discussion that went on for over two weeks, with a few comments bringing up points that were addressed. I don't understand where the conclusion came from to delete the image - it wasn't reflected in the discussion.
Please restore the image, or at least open it up for review and more discussion. Thanks, Ellis408 ( talk) 20:03, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

epguides was recently deleted because of G11. I totally agree-- it was a lousy article. But it was also linked to Template:Epguides so I wonder if it is worth reinstatment.
Full disclosure: I am one of the founders of epguides, but I did not write the article. I'm not all that concerned we don't have a page any more, but there are similar sites with pages: TVRecaps.com, The_TV_IV (full of references to itself), TV Tome.
I don't want to come off as petty-- I fine with or without the page.

Yes that file is on Commons but if you delete the local file before the license is fixed on Commons it may be hard for non-admins to see what the correct license is.

EFC Africa - This wasn't "my" page, and I'm not interested in this or any other sport, but I believe it was a mistake to delete the page. I believed that then, and more so now. The article regarded a very popular sport in South Africa, and, despite that popularity, there is no representation on Wikipedia for anyone seeking further information. The artcile was deleted, from what I can recall of the discussion, due to its not being "notable" enough. I was reminded to voice my objection to its deletion by this article, which, surely, identifies the topic as at least "notable:"

Photos of cityskape, skylines, historical buildings, human activities etc of my city. I am new to wikipedia. What's the difference between uploading directly to wikipedia and by wikimedia commons?? I am willing to share my photos all over the world, but in wikimedia commons it is said that anyone can use it commercially. I am not that interested in commercial use of my photos unless they formally ask permission to me first. So am I supposed to ulpoad it directly to wikipedia (not wikiemdia commons?). sorry for my stupid question I am so confused here in wikipedia, so many new things

Hi Fastily
I noticed you deleted the page for "microcinema" claiming (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://mubi.com/garage/projects/9)
However, it appears that, in fact, the Garage Digital page on mubi copied its text from the wikipedia entry, not the other way around. Compare the following archive.org snapshots:
From 2009 - the entry for "microcinema" at that time http://web.archive.org/web/20091214135907/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcinema
From 2010 - the former site for Garage Digital http://web.archive.org/web/20100706185248/http://mubi.com/garage/projects/9
It appears that Garage didn't post their text until after the middle of 2010, at which point it had already been in existence on wikipedia.
It's an understandable mistake, but it appears that this deletion shouldn't have happened. Could you un-do it?

The reference you linked (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.yorkshirecoastradio.com/undiscovered.php) which contains some material of the biography is copied from the original biography and was used a link to importance of the musician that he had been played on commercial radio and not a citation to the primary biography.

Fastily,
You recently closed a deletion discussion of several bookcover photos which I uploaded. [65]
You deleted the photos although every one of them was accompanied by newspaper articles, direct quotes to those news articles, and
in-line citations to those news articles. This critical commentary existed for each and every photo. As such, all of these photos met the
WP:NFC#UUI "critical commentary" standard.
I pointed this fact out repeatedly in the discussion. Also, if you look at the article where these photos were placed, you will see exactly what I mean. [66]
Each and every photo correlated to extensive critical commentary, from sources such as The New York Times, Washington Post, Publishers Weekly, Time Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, Library Journal...the list goes on and on.
Could you review this matter when you get a chance, and re-consider the deletion? I would greatly appreciate it, and thank you for your time. Below is the list of photos.

According to the reason the April Masini article was deleted, I should have not created the article (it was up for deletion before) but after my initial contest to have the page undeleted I was able to work on it under "User: GMHayes4/April Masini." I checked all the references, and had the page reviewed by multiple Wikipedia editors. I moved the page to stand alone because all of the references are verifiable, and the language on the page is objective. I do not understand why I can not recreate the page, especially when I was given permission to do so with the "Userfied" version. Can I rename the page? It is also not showing up in "My Contributions" which is disconcerting, given the hours I've put into making the article a good one. Now, I don't even have the ability to retrieve the information that was deleted. All of my information is gone; the formatting, the references... Do I have to start over? What should I do now?

Hi. I'm curious and confused as to why this article was deleted under G6. The show is notable, and it is not satisfactorily covered at Guts (TV series). RJaguar3 | u | t 17:10, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm burnt out and tired of the way I've recently been treated. I have literally spent countless hours of my time carefully reviewing and deleting hundreds of pages daily for years and I'm rewarded with spurious trips to AN/ANI over frivolous claims that could have been easily resolved through talk page discussion. The worst part about these trips, is that editors who I've disagreed with in the past, or editors whose pages I have deleted, appear at these threads and bring up their pet beef with me (mostly disagreements about appropriate admin actions I have taken), effectively dragging out these hurtful and aimless discussions for weeks. I'm not claiming to be infallible here, like everyone else, I'm human and I make mistakes, which I'm more than happy to correct and own up to. However, as of late, I feel that every time a mistake I make finds itself in the public eye, I am demonized and purported to be a malicious, ignorant person when that just simply isn't true. It's really quite disappointing. I realize that working in CSD/FfD/PuF/TfD doesn't make one popular, but someone has got to do this grody job, and I'm willing to make that sacrifice if it will ultimately lead to the betterment of Wikipedia, a project I love. I do have my limits, which I've finally found, and not a moment too late. With that said, I'm going to be taking a break from Wikipedia for awhile. I plan on returning in the future, when I'm feeling up to the pressure and responsibilities I have chosen to take on around here, and when I have more time in real life.

Hi,
I was reading in the German wikipedia, switched to the English one and saw that the article I wanted to read was deleted. As I had previously not been familiar with the deletion process, I looked it up. The page was deleted for "No indication of notability". I would object on two arguments:
1) a) "When evaluating the notability of organizations or products, please consider whether they have had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education." Intershop (then called NetConsult) in 1994 created arguably the first e-commerce software available (see Online shopping) and continued to be one of the leading software developers for this early time of the market (cf. http://www.thefreelibrary.com/NetConsult's+INTERSHOP+Online+Virtual+Storefront+Software+to+be...-a018936058) b) "A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject." Independent coverage (over the last 13 years) does exist: http://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/handel-dienstleister/new-economy-veteran-intershop-strebt-nach-neuer-groesse/3477040.html, http://www.faz.net/aktuell/finanzen/aktien/new-economy-intershop-ein-verblassender-schatten-der-vergangenheit-141633.html, http://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/new-economy-der-entzauberte-mythos-115512.html, ... and many more
Intershop has also been notorious for its New Economy bubble - being one of the prime examples for it in Germany (company value rose to 11 billion USD in 2000 only to fall to penny stock levels in very short time, see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuer_Markt ). So it even is interesting from a historical point of view (even used in schools: http://www.schulportal-thueringen.de/web/guest/media/detail?tspi=1195). see also http://www.insead.edu/v1/projects/cgep/Research/Industrystudies/Computer/Intershop.pdf, http://dimetic.dime-eu.org/dimetic_files/Buenstorf%20Fornahl%20JEE%20Intershop.pdf, http://books.google.de/books?id=nbSNQFjAgTkC&pg=PA353&lpg=PA353&dq=intershop+%22new+economy%22&source=bl&ots=dICjmRO0po&sig=vhKmsOkZsTevDMrHL7Wvsjp9-Qc&hl=de&sa=X&ei=JcN0T5OSFYiPswbplsDSDQ&ved=0CGkQ6AEwCDgo#v=onepage&q=intershop%20%22new%20economy%22&f=false, http://books.google.de/books?id=nbSNQFjAgTkC&pg=PA353&lpg=PA353&dq=intershop+%22new+economy%22&source=bl&ots=dICjmRO0po&sig=vhKmsOkZsTevDMrHL7Wvsjp9-Qc&hl=de&sa=X&ei=JcN0T5OSFYiPswbplsDSDQ&ved=0CGkQ6AEwCDgo#v=onepage&q=intershop%20%22new%20economy%22&f=false
2) Other, very similar, pages for companies with much less significance still exist. For example, see Demandware, a company from the same segment, with about the same revenue, and with the same founder. Compared to the German article on Intershop (to which the English one was probably very similar before deletion), it has even less depth. And most of the sources are in fact quoting articles from the local paper rephrasing press-releases by the company or its customers.
I think this should be enough reason for undeletion. Should I post a Request for Undeletion? Can you undelete it directly?
I suppose the article itself lacks quality (the German one does), but that is another matter.
Regards,

The MDRC artcle page was deleted on the basis of "unambiguous advertising". We are a non-profit that offers nothing for sale, and does not seek contributions from the public. Since we can no longer see the article, I'm not sure what you might have objected to. The original article was basically an account of our history and areas of work. I am not the author of the page, and don't know if it was edited or changed from the last time I looked at it - which would have been quite some time ago. If the article can be resotored, and you can indicate what you found objectionalble we will edit the material to address those concerns. MDRC has played a prominent role in the evaluation of anti-poverty programs in the US over the last 40 years and is mentioned in several other Wikipedia articles. The article about it serves a useful infomative purpose.

Dear sir/ma'am
I respect your rules and regulations and I know that your decision of removing this page was not wrong, but being the resident of the city Solan I used the government PDF to put extra info to Solan wikipedia, which is not worng. I just used the data for the information only, as the data was in figures so it could not be edited or changed. that is why I exactly use the same data.kindle roll back the page as it is very inportant for our city, lot of people use the page for information, and if still you think that the data was not ment for wikipedia then you can delete the particular data from the page, leaving rest of the wikipedia of Solan city as such
Looking forward for your positive action

Hi Fastily -
Some time back I found the Wikipedia page on "Munay-ki" - I was interested because several of my friends had gone through this initiation and were asking me to do the same. I thought it was a little fishy, and wanted to see something besides the "5 star reviews". The Wikipedia page seemed to have the only information that raised issues - well, the only one that raised issues about the rites that I could find on the web, and even if it lacked the "third party references" (was that what you called the problem?), it was valuable to me. Tonight I went back looking for it, and it's gone!
I wish there was a way to keep information like this available, even if it's not as well referenced as we'd like. Once a page is deleted, is there a way to find it in some sort of archives?
Many thanks!

Hi there
You have deleted the file EOS2007_0617_020ii.jpg
Unfortunately I am not very good with Wikipedia however the photo was uploaded and owned by myself. As the picture was already up I did not know how to change that fact.
As a result i have uploaded it again with the correct details (I hope) this time)

Hello,
I am a professional model and actress who began working professionally at the age of four in numerous national advertising campaigns. You can find proof of Warner Brother's feature film and FOX series credits dating back to 1995 on IMDb. I took some time off to study my craft further, pursuing an education in acting and art at Columbia University in 2002, and the University of Notre Dame and London's Globe Theatre from 2004-2008, and have been working as such full-time since 2008. Please see the link to below to the cover of Notre Dame magazine, which contains an article regarding my recent projects. My modeling work has been published nationally in 2010 in US Weekly Magazine, also linked below, in which I was featured in a two-page advertisement spread for Verizon Wireless and the movie Inception wearing a couture gown by the Walter Collection. I have also been featured in an eight page editorial in Swoop magazine Fall 2011 and another two page article on a Los Angeles fashion show I walked in is featured in the Spring 2012 issue of the same magazine. I am represented by The Gage Group and Betwixt Talent in Los Angeles as an actress, and Elysium Agency as a model, all professional agencies based in Los Angeles. My full portfolio is available on my website at www.LondonVale.com, and my acting credits can be checked on the IMDb. You can view my full acting reel and resume at LACasting and Breakdown Express. My acting reel is also available on my website. Please let me know if you'd like to request to view full versions of the films in which I've acted. I would appreciate it if you could kindly restore my Wikipedia page, as the information posted on my page is correct and there is sufficient information to support that fact.
Best,

Hi Fastily,
I'm the owner of House of Magic UK and I noticed you deleted the page on it. You stated the reasons being it 'is a shop and a business, not a museum' whilst that is true it is partly a shop, it also has many other features.
House of Magic UK for instance is one of only five remaining bricks and mortar stores left in the country. The business also has lectures by the top magicians from around the world. It also provides courses and tuition on how to learn magic either as a hobby or a profession.
There aren't many places like this left in the world let alone the UK, a traditional magic store so it's a shame you felt the need to delete it 'because it's a shop' when in fact it is so much more.

I've had quite some time to think about it, and I have decided to end my involvement with the English Wikipedia. Over the past few weeks, I have been considering how I have been rewarded for my work, reading AN/ANI, and keeping up with the latest news. It has definitely taken me all too long to arrive at an inevitable conclusion: this amazing project is also home to a community that belittles and harasses its own members for the most idiotic and childish reasons (e.g. grudges, boredom, amusement, sport, dirty politics).
The problem here, is not with the WMF, site rules, or individual editors, but with the contagious witch-hunt mentality of the community. I know, it's easy, and perhaps even fun to ostracize and single an editor out, seduce the masses with promises of drama, and freely harass and attack that poor soul without fear of retribution. During such times, and even in general, we have a tendency to focus on the negative and overlook the positive; stellar contributions are rewarded with silence, and mistakes, regardless of how minute or well-intentioned, are met with aggressive complaints and/or trips to AN/ANI.
The thing most people fail to understand is that there is a real person reading all these insults on the other side. Throughout my tenure here, I have seen countless editors, from IPs to Admins, to Arbs, say things or insult others in ways that they would dare not in real life. Such has only become more apparent to me during my break from Wikipedia. I have been actively watching, no, desperately reading and watching various talk pages, discussion boards, and noticeboards, searching for something to wholly prove me wrong. I have not been met with success in my search. Given the current state of things, I believe that Wikipedia is going to destroy itself through mob-mentality and infighting. This project is ill, very ill, and I fear for its future.
Ironically, for the longest time, I've always wondered why so many of our established and valued contributors continuously departed the project at an ever increasing rate. Regrettably, I understand fully now, and really do sympathize with the departed. Don't get me wrong here though, I have thoroughly enjoyed the last four years I have committed to this project. I've decided to retire now, because down the road, when I look back, I wish to remember editing Wikipedia as positive experience, lest any more negative experiences I might encounter should outweigh the good. When I joined Wikipedia back in 2008, the atmosphere was so much more welcoming and collegial. I can only hope, for the benefit of the encyclopedia, that we will one day make a return to the open, relaxed, and supportive environment that was once an integral part of Wikipedia. Until then, Wikipedia is a place I cannot be.
Best Wishes and Good Luck to you all, FASTILY (TALK) 07:36, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
"Given the current state of things, I believe that Wikipedia is going to destroy itself through mob-mentality and infighting. This project is ill, very ill, and I fear for its future."I agreee with this completely.

When will the community listen and decide to change? 64.40.57.37 ( talk) 10:15, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

It is rather ironic. You're someone who I'm not sure I've ever been in agreement with elsewhere, and yet you have articulated so eloquently the very same dismay that I've felt for so long. Wikipedia is an amazing project with some amazing people chiseling away at it, but behind the veil of an intellectual nexus lies a toxic environment where one's spirit can so easily be shattered for the most insignificant of infractions. Bureaucracy has overtaken reason, good faith has vanished in the midst of a gang mentality, and a callous disregard for the feelings of others has all too often been justified by calling it simple "honesty".
It's a shame to lose an editor as principled as yourself, but I understand why you have chosen to leave. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I appreciate all you've done for Wikipedia over the years. A good thing may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but collectively they comprise something truly extraordinary. Good luck in all your future endeavours, Fastily. =) Master&Expert ( Talk) 03:17, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:MBARI200ppx.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:JonathonBand3.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney ( talk) 21:57, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach

Hi,
You deleted American International School of Vienna, due to: (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://newkai.com/reviews/ais/)
I am the owner and author of the said text on newkai.com and the author of the original text on Wikipedia. Does this still make it copyright infringement? Can I infringe on my own copyright? What do I need to do to get this article restored? - newkai t- c 15:35, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
The alleged "copyrighted material" at http://www.wellsclan.us/History/generatn/21regmnt.htm was not material created by that website, but was an extract from Dyer, Frederick H. A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion (Des Moines, IA: Dyer Pub. Co.), 1908. "Dyer's" is a text in the public domain, and is commonly used as a (or the) source document for most of the Wikipedia entries for Union regiments from the American Civil War. My article in Wikipedia used an extract from "Dyer's" (and stated as much), as did the author of the page at the wellsclan.us website (working separately). The wellsclan.us website in question states that the information on that page is an extract from "Dyer's", as was the deleted page on the 21st Missouri Volunteer Infantry. There were NO plagiarism, and NO copyright infringement. The two documents were created separately extracting the same document which is now in the public domain. Please reinstate the deleted Wiki page for the 21st Missouri Volunteer Infantry.

Following up to your last statement "Very well then, go ahead and recreate the article"...Does this mean that my work was irrecoverably destroyed without discussion?

Hi. I've restored this, as its deletion isn't non-controversial. The redirect is in active use; I discovered it had been deleted when I tried to tag an image with Twinkle, and found it dead.

It looks to me that the Melatonin article is using the pronunciation sound file you have nominated at Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_December_29#File:Melatonin-pronunciation.ogg for being orphaned and of no forseeable use. Am I missing something? Are you missing something? It was not orphaned when a bot tagged it as being so. I cannot find the file on Commons. I do not understand the corresponding Fbot activity [1].

Fastily, please undo your deletion of CtC. It's a shorthand that I use personally (which is why I created it), and which I use as a personal shortlist (since no one else uses CtC, the 'what links here' function takes me to a list of files I personally vetted for transfer).

Could I ask you to explain the above closure more. It seems to me that, in your closure, you make no mention of our "policy" of respecting the copyright of countries even when there are not copyright relations and so the images are PD in the US (I discuss this more fully at the PUF). The reason I ask is that your closure is being used as some sort of precedence at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2011 December 22#Template:PD-Iran in US. I think they are mistaken in this usage and are confusing law with policy and not recognising that policy can go further than law. If you closed the discussion simply because they are PD and PUF isn't the place to discuss whether their use is allowed within policy then this will obviously have quite a different meaning to if you closed the discussion meaning the images are PD and we can use them within policy. If you did intend the second sort of closure I would ask for an explanation of while you think their use is allowed given what is stated at WP:C and in the e-mail. I do not think that a PUF discussion is the appropriate venue to be having such a discussion so I think an RfC should be held - that is of course unless I've missed some previous discussion.

Hi, I have been asked to re-examine the file you recently deleted of File:Cuthbert covercropped.jpg ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs).

Can you restore me the diffs of File:Utopian Dances cover.jpg because I wanted to demonstrate a bug in FTCG here.-- Ankit Maity Talk • contribs 08:17, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Dear Fastily
Here is a reformulation of my recent request concerning deletion of Talk:Two envelopes problem/sources.
Bulwersator responded to my request, saying that the page had not been deleted. What has happened is, I think, is the following. Two envelopes problem/sources has been deleted, and this deletion has automatically also destroyed Talk:Two envelopes problem/sources. I had been trying to move the former to the latter, since the former had been up for merge or deletion for some time. The actual consensus was to move the page to a subpage of the talk page of the main article.
To be precise, the day before, I had moved the content of Two envelopes problem/sources to Talk:Two envelopes problem/sources, and replaced it with a redirect to the main article, in line with another sub-Talk-page, Talk:Two envelopes problem/Arguments. I was stupid enough not to keep a personal back-up copy.
If undeletion is impossible, please put a recent version of Two envelopes problem/sources back in my user space, or iNic's. Or has it now gone forever? Richard Gill ( talk) 09:07, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear Fastily,
Happy New Year. I noticed that my article University of Oxford Georgian Society has been deleted as a similar one has been deleted previously. I have specifically redrafted the new article to address all the issues that were in the Oxford Georgian Society article (specifically removed sections on the current society, its president etc, basically all the info that does not have at least 2-3 reliable sources). I think its an interesting article and there are tens of wiki pages on other oxford university socities, so its not the topic that was an issue but content, that has been fixed - its all well documentted and cited. Please let me know if its possible to reinstate the page and I'll be happy to run you through the changes made.

Hi Fastily, This is Ryan, the Dakota Curling Club President, I believe the information on http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/dakota-curling-club/history.html was taken from wikipedia and not the other way around. For example, compare the information for the St. Paul Curling Club with that on spiritus-temporis. Likewise compare the Geographic information for St Paul with that on spiritus-temporis and you'll see that the spiritus temporis is nearly identical to parts of the wikipedia entry. In fact, spiritus temporis says they get their data from publicly available sources, probably including wikipedia. Please undelete our wikipedia page Dakota Curling Club entry.

It is cool that you work on the ogg-files so that we can get rid of the junk and move the good files for Commons. However, there is a problem with some of the files. It is not possible to see that they are used unless you check "what links here". So I checked the files you nominated for deletion and moved some of the files that was in use to Commons.
As an example you could check Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_December_26#File:Gettherebeforedark.ogg. There is nothing under File:Gettherebeforedark.ogg#File usage but under What links here.
The problem also make the bot tag used files as orphan. -- MGA73 ( talk) 20:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Fastily, Did you read the discussion at the talk page contesting the speedy delete nomination of Jehovah's Witness beliefs? The Watchtower Information Service website has clearly lifted content from the Wikipedia page, not the other way round. As the page unambiguously states, their content was added in 2010; the original Wikipedia article was created in 2006 and revised constantly since then. (Much of the information at the specific article on the Watchtower Information Service website is actually my work, written on Wikipedia and then lifted by them.) The 1999 copyright note on the external website clearly referred to the website, not specific pages. The nominator of this supposed copyvio is running a campaign to force the deletion of pages that contain material critical of his religion. Would you please restore the page? BlackCab ( talk) 04:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
I noticed you restored the page and I was wondering about the results of the investigation of the page with regards to possible copyright infringement. The page that it mirrors seems to give two conflicting dates, which have been the subject of some dispute. The copyright on the page is from 1999, and while it's possible that the page was created on a later date, I can't conclusively say that it was. Is there any way the publishers of the page can be contacted to verify a date the article was written by them , as they obviously do not state that they copied the article directly from Wikipedia, I think it's somewhat presumptuous to assume that they did, and more likely that an individual editor, years ago, chose to copy it from them and claim it as their own. It really is simply a matter of making sure that Wikipedia is not in violation of copyright laws and not as the editor previously stated, "a campaign to force the deletion of pages that contain material critical of his religion." which of itself is a false accusation because this is the only page I have ever nominated for deletion and that because of it's failure to adhere to WP:NPOV and the recently discovered likely copyright infringement.

I'd really appreciate it if you could possibly put it back and relate it again to the Bulgarian version, because I can't dedicate too much time on writing things like that. Besides the article in the Italian periodical is written LATER than that in WIKI, I didn't copy it for wiki.

It's orphaned because I removed it from the article about the artist.

Noticed that "Espial" [1] was deleted - I have not seen the original text but would like to add an article on the Espial "TV Browser".
The Espial "TV Browser" is one of many TV Browsers very rapidly coming to market, very different than the Desktop, Mobile or Tablet browsers that are described in Wikipedia based on the unique interface requirements of the viewer (8ft+ more away, remote control), the constrained environments (Set top boxes, game consoles, Blue-ray players and TVs), and the requirement to be as good if not better than desktop browsers.
The Espial TV browser is based on Webkit, and today supports HTML5 more completely than many desktop browsers. Other TV browsers are based on Gecko.
Also noticed that the article "internet browser" only describes desktop and mobile browsers. Tablet browsers and TV Browsers should be added.
To understand the market for TV Browsers - Hulu, YouTube and other media aggregators are adopting TV browsers to display content on these devices, while ALL major TV manufacturers (Hitachi, Sony, Panasonic) are looking to integrate TV browsers on all their platforms to satisfy the need for media/web consumption via the TV screen.
Please advise on what is required to correct the content.

He just goes on bugging us daily, no one can do a thing about it really.. can be blocked, change IP just by reseting his modem, and back in 5 mins. Such is life.

Fastily, I'm helping out checking into CCI reviews performed by Katarighe in light of this.
One I'm looking into is the deletion of Anastas nika (not Anastas Nika, which may be related, but is different).
You deleted, as a G12. When I look at the DD, I only see a couple of three word phrases. Neither the article nor the source are in English, so my lack of language skills is hampering me. Given the problems with Katarighe, we are double-checking many edits, including this one. Can you help shed light on why this is a G12?-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 00:42, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I notice that you readded a di-nosource tag to this image despite me leaving an explanation of why I'd removed it in the edit log. You then didn't even have the decency to inform me that you'd re-added it. I note that our deletion policy says that when there's disagreement over whether something meets a speedy criteria it's normal to start a discussion rather than re-add the tag. I have now started such a discussion. The description of F4 is overly vague and certainly doesn't describe a situation such as this. However in essence it's purpose is to make sure we can verify that we can legally use a file and as I say in this case we don't need source information to determine this, hence I don't think it's a F4.

Hello, is there a way to unlink all of the pages that link to an image before deleting it? Your recent deletion of the college helmet files pursuant to Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_December_31#File:Florida_Gators_football_helmet.gif (among others) has broken the infobox on every page that linked to them, which is a relatively large number. Cleaning up each one individually is a nontrivial effort, and since the file has been deleted, normal members like me can't be sure they've cleaned up every page that used to link to the image in question. It would just be much more helpful if you could unlink pages that use the pictures before deleting them.- Jhortman ( talk) 15:39, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm puzzled by your closing statement for this template: (1) it's a template, not a file, (2) the concern raised by the nominator was that that plainlist works better. However, it has been pointed out that plainlist does not work in image captions, while unbulleted list does work. plainlist has less functionality, which means it cannot be used to replace unbulleted list in some cases. I also argued that by simply adding "class=plainlist" to unbulleted list, there would be no need to orphan it, saving tens of thousands of senseless edits. neither of these ideas points were addressed. thank you.

Hi Fastily,
First of all, thanks for doing all you do on Wikipedia. I've seen your name come up many times and you have been making great contributions to the project. I was surprised to see that you deleted File:Halperin.JPG; I was the only editor who commented in that discussion other than the nominator, and I argued against deletion. I understand that deletion discussions are not votes, but surely a closure that contradicts the sole comment in the discussion should be preceded by a response countering that comment. Any clarification about why this image was deleted despite the concerns I raised would be appreciated. More importantly, however, I recommend contributing to rather than closing single-comment discussions in the future when the sole comment recommends a different course of action than the one you believe to be correct. You've been doing great work in this area of Wikipedia, so I realize that you closed the discussion in good faith.

The rule of Communist Aesthetics was a synthesized concept brought up by my a professor of mine in a history/psychology class.

Hi, Fastily. Just wanted to let you know that, following a question at my talk page, I've pulled up the history of this article and tucked it elsewhere pending a full investigation of copyright concerns. The tagger evidently didn't realize that there was clean content in the history, or I'm sure he would have listed it at WP:CP rather than tagging it for {{ Db-g12}}. Some people at the talk page think it may be a reverse infringement, I gather, but I have no opinion on that yet myself.

As you have failed to respond, my working hypothesis is that you did not investigate the article prior to deletion. Even if the article were shown to have copyright violations at this point, your failure to investigate, and failure to respond to inquiries, raise serious concerns. Given the numerous similar complaints you've received in the past, I believe your actions display a pattern of misuse of an administrative tool. This is your last chance to reform.

By doing research on above topic I obviously wanted to see what does Wikipedia have about it, and I found out you deleted the page as a hoax. I did not create the page, nor I know how to do it. But being from Yugoslavia, and not remembering anything about 'our' space program from my childhood, I wanted to research the topic, after learning about a Slovenian documentary scheduled to release next Spring about that issue ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfJiNPZ38kY). It discusses work of Slovenian rocket scientist Herman Potocnik. I admit I am skeptical about the hypothesis that Tito 'sold' rocket science to Kennedy, and that Verner von Braun built his work on Potocnik's blueprints, but I believe Wikipedia should perhaps have some information about the topic and the film project.

What you fail to consider with deleting this page is that while the U.S.A. launched the Apollo program in 1960, this does not mean that negotiations for the Yugoslav data did not begin in 1960. The Talks with the CIA could very well have occurred within the timeframe. I would suggest reinstating the page, however stating that the information has a lack of sources that are YET TO BE RELEASED in the "houston, we have a problem" documentary. Once this documentary is released, you could choose to delete it or not. However, until then, you have no justifiable cause or reason to delete the page.
I received correspondence today saying that you had deleted an image of a worker at the Trinidad Regional Virus Laboratory in 1956 because there was supposedly insufficient data giving permission to use it. As you can see from the correspondence (below) I had already written showing that I did indeed have permission to use it but does not seem to have been taken into account. So, unless you have other reasons (in which case please leave me a note on my Talk Page or email me), would you please reinstate the image?

I am sorry but my temper is really high now. According to wikipedia I (the creator of the article) can contest the proposed deletion. I was actually doing that but then I clicked save and all of a sudden it was gone. Basically you did not give me the chance to contest this deletion. I will act bossy here but please just revive the page because I did not copyright that one section, I rewrote it in my own full words. By the way did you even bother to inspect why it was put up for deletion. I bet you didn't because even the most stupid idiotic people would see that this page was not copyright at all. I actually remember when we went into this situation with the History of Indian football page when I supposedly copyrighted that from an article created after I created this page. This is almost the same case. I am being accused of unjustified copyright and I would love to have my views expressed without you or someone else deleting it without my word.

I noticed you deleted this article because of non notability. I have references that prove that this article is notable Ref 1.

I see this article has been deleted as being the same as one previously created. Not so - the difference is that Driver has now made his full football and professional debut with a fully pro side in Burton Albion. This debut is referenced in the article. Please restore the article as notability has now been established and referenced - Thanks.-- Egghead06 ( talk) 07:44, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear Fastily
First of all, I would like to thank you for what you are doing on Wikipedia. In fact, I am writing about companies on the translation market tools that are applying the cloud computing. And I begin my work with the product that I know best and the others later. Could you please let me know how can I repair my work and why the other companies information can be published on Wikipedia. I am very appreciated if you let me know the reason so that I can do better and write more article about them. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear Fastily,
First of all, I would like to thank you for what you are doing on Wikipedia. I'm writing you because you deleted page of Depositphotos stock photo agency with the reason of "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion". Could you specify please why you made such a decision. The company has been already established on the stock photography market and serves tens thousands of customers worldwide.

Hi James. Thank you for clarifying this for me. I wrote Depositphotos article in a style that very similar to pre-existed articles of Depositphotos' competitors.

Dear Fastily,
Thank you very much for your response. I believe there was a misunderstanding which I would like to clear up - the article Oxford University Georgian Society was not simply reposted and hence in violation of G4. I have specifically addressed the issues raised under the Oxford Georgian Society Discussion page, and the article University of Oxford Georgian Society is now well referenced and cited with numerous external sources and reading materials, which was the issue with the previous article (anything that only has one reference has been removed). I believe its an interesting topic that has tens of analogous articles on Wikipedia (Oxford University Polish Society, Oxford University Greek Society, Oxford University Russian Society etc). I would thus like to kindly ask for the article Oxford University Georgian Society to be reinstated. Please let me know if you require any additional information / clarification.

What was the reason of deleting page: 'Bestselling cars of all time'. I suppose you, or someone else might have thought that if there already is 'List of bestselling automobiles' & 'List of bestselling automobiles' such page as 'Bestselling cars of all time' is usles. But as a metter of a fact it was completely different content! It might have been unnoticed for someone who isn't interested in such topics. Once again, I'm politely asking to recreate that page.
I'm looking forward for your answer.
Dear Fastily,
On December 2, 2011 you deleted File:Nelson_Denis.jpg pursuant to this PUF discussion: [22]
The following day on December 3, 2011, as part of an Administrator's Noticeboard discussion [23], you provided me the following, and very helpful, guidelines:
Your guidelines were followed. OTRS has verified and approved the permission as valid. The photo file has been restored. [24]
Thank you for your guidance in this matter. It was very helpful, and greatly appreciated. Nelsondenis248 ( talk) 22:18, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Unambiguous copyright infringement, eh? Can I point out that I got the majority of the information in the article was sourced from Wikipedia and some from the audio podcast of Big Finish (I think it was early November 2011) and from a brief bio.
Given the 90% of Wikipedia is material taken from other sources and then redrafted, I think you decision to target my little article seems a little churlish. Has Miss Olsson offended you in anyway? Did you ask for an autograph and she slighted you? Or do you have a particular disdain for voice actors?
I'd have to assume all of those, because the decision to delete the article without suggestion of amendment would appear to breach the very spirit of Wikipedia, the "peoples encyclopedia", providing us with a real glimpse into what is effectively a cabal of like minded people. Or am I wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ascolti ( talk • contribs) 23:18, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

This editor has been around since 2007, and has almost 70,000 edits, but it looks like he's created 30 or 40 articles of the type I tagged tonight and you deleted: an article about a non-notable actor that consists of a generic single sentence lede followed by a filmography straight out of IMDB. These are all actors who played bit parts, many or most of which they weren't even credited for, so they're clearly non-notable, as least as far as the data from IMDB shows, and the articles don't pass our notability requirements.
I've never come across a situation quite like this, so I don't know what the best thing to do here is. Any ideas? Beyond My Ken ( talk) 05:29, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
While you were deleting Holiday Plaza, I was editing it to remove the attack part. The whole thing wasn't an attack article, so I think that editing is better than speedy deletion. I did, however, tag the article for notability and prod it. However, I don't really care that much, and don't particularly mind if you re-delete what I put. If not, and if it survives prod, then we should undelete the rest of the history for attribution purposes. Qwyrxian ( talk) 05:41, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Fastily, You deleted 'File:Harry-barr-epping-1948.jpg' with your reason F11.

I received a response back today 13/01/2012 asking me to use a specific email template. Of course it is too late now so I'm not sure what to do. Do I reupload the file or can you restore it?

Fastily, the record shows that you had deleted the article Multimedia University for violating G12. You also give the website link. The article are meant for and is about the same entity, Multimedia University. I don't think that the article is lack of citation since the official website would be the source of information. Perhaps a proper citation should do. By deleting the whole article, this might an act of vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by S12796 ( talk • contribs) 11:10, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Fastily! I see you deleted the Dubai Museum article, leaving the following summary: "(G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.weknowdubai.com/70743/dubai-museum/)"
That's a big mistake. The fact is that we are the victims of infringement here as Wikipedia is not credited in that page for the text, neither the photographer is credited for his photo ( File:Al_Fahidi_Fort.jpg, which is found at http://www.weknowdubai.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Al_Fahidi_Fort.jpg on the weknowdubai website, notice the 2011/12 in the URL).
The webpage you linked to is by all means a new page. Not only the image was uploaded in 2011/12, the page as a whole has no history saved in the Wayback Machine, while the rest of the site is there. Searching the 8,335 URLs that have been captured for this domain not one of them includes the word "museum". Looking at the website's history, this is how it looked in Nov 2010, and this was then the same page that now includes the Dubai Museum page, it has no link or mention whatsoever of the museum.
If you have a look at other sections at the website you'll find many parts here and there taken from WP articles. This website has been lifting it's contents off Wikipedia ever since its inception. Compare this to this.
All the details describing the museum and fort I wrote after my personal visits to the museum, other information is cited. Our article is not new, the history of the article should show clearly how it's been built over the years, and not with one copy-paste action. People steal from WP without attribution all the time, and it seems odd to assume that we are the infringers just because others have copied the article word for word and ignored our attribution requirement. I hope you can restore the article as soon as possible. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 15:21, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
You deleted my article Consumer Debt Relief and I'm not sure that your reason is correct...I did not intend to advertise but only to provide a clear understanding of this developing industry and referenced both an industry certification body and an industry trade association only to advise consumers to refer to these groups, these trade groups do not receive any benefit from consumer reference and inquiries.

Hello there, This is Demetri.
I saw you flagged my revised article for deletion and this has been my third failed attempt at uploading due to G11. Please understand I am an avid user of Wikipedia and want nothing more then to contribute my article in a respectful, neutral fashion, alas I manage to fail at every attempt.
Live chat has fruited me no help so I was wondering if you may be able to direct me the right way. I understand even on my third revision, perhaps the "promotion" problem comes from the Magazine links, however I felt it was somewhat necessary, as I read many articles from other bands and a large amount of their credibility is presented by their quotes and reviews from credible magazines and websites, which are also noted on their pages.
Could you perhaps tell me what tones are incorrect for the Simeon Soul Charger article and what links are innapropriate? Your help would be graciously accepted and appreciated.

Hi, the article 2011-12 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino is about a volleyball league season in Peru, the league was originaly divided in two parts Apertura and Clausura. The "apertura"'s first round was on the article 2011-12 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino - Apertura First Round but, this week it was announced that the Clausura part of the tournament would not be played and the Apertura would be the only tournament played.
After that I copied the content of 2011-12 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino - Apertura First Round to 2011-12 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino - First Round and added a redirection on the first article, my mistake i didn't know how to move pages, you deleted both.

Clearly, you have not referred back to Mania Akbari's page to learn more about 10+4 or refer to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1198049/ for more information. I do not understand why you deleted the page, it does require more editing but the major problem is that the director has very recently fled from Iran and had always been keeping details a secret, thus you may not be able to find legitimate resources for now.

You closed Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2012_January_6#Template:POV-check-section as "redirect". However, it was obviously the intention of all the editors involved in the discussion (including the nominator) that the three templates would be replaced by their more general counterparts with a "section" parameter. However, {{ COI}} doesn't have such a parameter. I made a sandbox version, and added an editprotected request. If you have time to do so, please copy the sandbox to the main template page.
Note also that {{ POV-check}} did have a section parameter, but that its code was flawed, mixing the "section" parameter with a talkpage section parameter. It took a quite some edits to the template and some 30+ articles to bring some order into the chaos. Debresser ( talk) 03:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Dear Fastily,
My request was removed by Miszabot III on the 14th Jan before you managed to reply. Here is my inquiry and hope you'll have time to look into it. Much appreciated:
Dear Fastily,
Thank you very much for your response. I believe there was a misunderstanding which I would like to clear up - the article Oxford University Georgian Society was not simply reposted and hence in violation of G4. Issues raised in the Oxford Georgian Society Discussion page were specifically addressed, and the article is now well referenced and cited with numerous external sources and reading materials, which was the issue with the previous article (all information and chapters with only one reference has been removed). I believe its an interesting topic that has tens of analogous articles on Wikipedia (Oxford University Polish Society, Oxford University Greek Society, Oxford University Russian Society etc). I would thus like to kindly ask for the article Oxford University Georgian Society to be reinstated. Please let me know if you require any additional information / clarification. Best regards,

I am not an expert with wikipedia protocol but you recently deleted a page for Hannah Mills. My issue is that happy sailor moved the origional article to make way for his own which I question. Therefore I thought that by putting a disambiguation page there I would avoid a lengthy discussion of not having one as the superior article. I appreciate this is only for two people so isn't ideal.

Hi Fastily -
I am Ho Baron, a sculptor with a Wikipedia page. I uploaded one of my images back in 2007. Sorry but I rarely log on and just discovered that you deleted the image:
00:11, 26 November 2011 Fastily (talk | contribs) deleted "File:Free Thinker.jpg" (Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2011 November 12#File:Free Thinker.jpg.
Since I have not been logged on, I missed my messages RE the discussion of the deletion. I appreciate that you are trying to protect my intellectual property. I thank you for that. However, I had thought that I filled out a copyright form for this image back in 2007 (note received from Wikipedia in 2007 is below - I thought that I had done the copyright sourcing).
So, what do I need to do to get the image back? Will I have to reload it myself or is it hidden somewhere in the Wikipedia image archives?

The deleted Hiroshi Kato (aikido) page was not my page, but I wanted to refer to it. Kato Sensei is one of the very few living direct students of the founder of aikido. Aside from this historical importance, he is an inspired teacher of the art. Since the concern that led to deletion seemed to be a concern that no-one cares to use that page, I thought it would be appropriate to point out that I do, and others like me (any kind of martial art student) might like to as well. Especially when Kato Sensei, born in 1935, passes away.

Basically the page you say i'm plagerizing is an old blog post from me and my group at Envirolution. threespheres@blogspot.com is from 2007 and should not be up but they dont delete it.

On the 17th of December 2011, you deleted the page for Demisexual. I am confused as to why you did this, as you provided no specific reasons — and last I remember the page for Demisexual contained adequate coverage and definition of Demisexuality with no obvious errors or invalid information/links.
I have looked further into the 'G8: Redirect to a deleted or non-existent page' but I am still to discover why it was exactly deleted (what precise content resulted in grounds for deletion? Etc) I cannot find other informational sources external to Wikipedia that provide a precise and elaborate explanation of Demisexuality like Wikipedia did; so this deletion troubles me to no end.
Any information you can provide on the matter would be very appreciated, and I would; of course, be very relieved if this page was restored and/or errors corrected so it may remain a tangible page to all.

Hi Fastily, would you mind taking a second look at Gor Mahia F.C.? It has 164 edits going back to 2006, so not in my view an article that couldn't be restored to a pre copyvio version. Especially as the 2006 version was very words by an editor other than the one who did the copyvios. I'd already declined the speedy once and reverted back a few months. Ϣere SpielChequers 14:30, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed you have deleted the Gor Mahia F.C. article due to copyvio. The subject is very important and the article was created over five years ago, so speedy deletion of the article cannot be justified. It would be equally ridiculous if articles on Manchester United or FC Barcelona were instantly deleted just because someone has added copyvio text into them. Could you please restore the page as soon as possible. I think the article was copyvio free just one or two weeks ago. Julius Sahara ( talk)

Resurrection of the discusssion.
Firstly, Fastily is well versed in deletion policy and does not hesitate to delete if it falls under criteria. You could say Fastily acts like a bot sometimes just doing it.
Secondly, archiving is done automatically by a bot named MiszaBotIII and this user's parameters are set to archive after 24 hours of the last comment posted. Since this user's page is loaded up every day by comments, this user feels that this is necessary.
Thirdly, a user does not have to publish a notice of deletion for every object they delete. If it falls under criteria for deletion, it gets deleted. The owner of the object is usually notified but it's not required of admins and editors to notify them. You may wish to check out WP:CSD and WP:AFD for some information about this.
Lastly, you may wish to check out user talk page parameters by scanning either the history or the source for any archive setup. To prevent more agitation if the future, you may want to substitute {{
DNAU}}
to prevent the thread from being archived or {{SUBST:DNAU|NUMBER}}
where number equals the number of days long the thread should be retained after the last thread.
@Fastily, this thread may need to be manually archived now because I give the Do Not Archive Until instruction to a user, MiszaBotIII fails to archive that thread.
I hope this information is of some help to you.— cyberpower ( Chat)( WP Edits: 511,570,803) 21:31, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

I noticed that there are 18 modern US stamps; the first 18 images found at Category:Postage stamps of the United States, that are being used purely as decoration without any critical commentary. I'm off on a wikibreak and will likely not be visiting much, so perhaps you would have a look and maybe nominate for deletion. If you do drop me a talkback so I can find them easily if I do log on. Many similarly used stamps have been deleted previously. The fact that such stamp were issued as an honour can easily be made in prose, so they fail WP:NFCC#8 and also WP:NFC#Images #3.

Hi..
When I wrote the Fair-Use text, I made it quite clear that the image of the Stamp was not to identify the person on which the image was placed. It was to illustrate the stamp, and placing it on the individual's Wikipedia page was to note the honor bestowed by the Untied States Postal Service of the individual.
The image of the Commemorative Stamp is being placed on the individual's Wikipedia article page to illustrate the stamp, not the indivudual, which is clearly identified by other images and text in the article. A United States Commemorative Stamp honoring an individual is intended for wide distribution. As such it adds historical significance to the article.
The other images on the page are irrelevant (Criterion 3a), as the image of the stamp it is not on the page to enhance the topic (Criterion 8).
The use of the image of the stamp on the individual's page in compliance with the USPS guidelines that allows fair use to illustrate the stamp in question.

I was very unhappy of why you deleted and File:Matty Levan.jpg and your reason for "Lack of licensing information" as which I had the necessary info as a copyright to who the images came from, I was also very unhappy that you didn't inform me of these deletions. also could you explain to me why I was lacking licensing info?, thanks.

You deleted this image since it was tagged as being an orphaned fair use image, but that is incorrect. As you can see by this edit, [28], the image was in use for three days prior to its deletion.

The above file was deleted as a result of Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_files/2011_December_6#File:Angelamiss.jpg. I had pointed out in that discussion that there were two versions of the file. The screen capture version was uploaded over the original, free file, which had been in use for quite a while without any problems (unless I missed something). As that was the only free image of Angela Fong we had, can you restore the original version please? Nici Vampire Heart 15:46, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello Fastily,
I received a speedy deletion on my entry of "Chicago Cultural Plan" with a citation of G11. There is nothing being advertised or promoted here. It is an accurate entry about a historical document that exists in City of Chicago, sanctioned by Mayor Harold Washington in 1986 and re-sanctioned by Mayor Rahm Emmanuel just recently in 2012.
I included a link to the original document and had planned on adding a link to the the new civic document once completed.
These documents are of public record in Chicago City Hall and were created by the citizens of Chicago.
I request approval of my entry.

You deleted the sandbox for Stanley Kubrick, previously found here [ [29]]. Previously, editors who are working to improve the article Stanley Kubrick were using the talk page for this article [ [30]] to store material that they had removed from the article. I copied the text of the article to Stanley Kubrick/Sandbox in order to undertake some moderate deletions. I wanted to get some feedback from other editors before I deleted significant portions of the article. I understand that maybe the page I created was in the wrong namespace or something, that is why I asked on the talk page for Stanley Kubrick if I was "doing it right." However, your actions were not helpful, because you deleted all of my edits, as well as the material that other editors were storing on the talk page. It would have been much more helpful if you could have directed me to the proper method for creating a sandbox page. Is it too late recover any of this material?

Dear Fastily,
on January 9th, 2012 you speedily deleted the article about Rachota Timetracker [1] considering it as spam/advertising [2]. I have read the reasons to recognize an article as such and I don't understand what it was exactly that disqualified the article. Rachota Timetracker is a free and open source application which was well known already prior to the article creation. Besides, you might not know that it was recently added to Red Hat's Fedora Linux distribution [3] so there is certainly no reason for advertising Rachota Timetracker.

Since Rachota project and Wikipedia itself share that same vision of free access to information (or tools in Rachota's case), can you please explain to me exactly what are the grounds for deletion of the article about this open source application? Or even better release your strict verdict?
Thank you very much for your reply.

Hi,
I just logged in to Wikipedia for the first time in about a month and discovered that a photograph I had uploaded, Gagnongrave.jpg, was deleted by yourself after a 2 week notice. Another editor provided this rationale:
3D artwork, US location, no date of creation, have to assume no FoP.
First, the photograph was not 3D artwork. I personally went to Arlington National Cemetery and took the photographs of Rene Gagnon's headstone. Rather than upload two files, I simply made one with both side by side. Second, there's no apparent key to the other editing lingo, so I'm not sure what "FoP" stands for or the relevancy of the photograph having a location in the United States. I can't speak to the date of creation data, as the page is now gone (I can't see what information I had added when I uploaded the image) and the photograph was taken and file created and uploaded sometime in 2006. Third, the Rene Gagnon (a flag raiser at Iwo Jima) is now missing a photograph that had illustrated his burial at Arlington National Cemetery.
Please let me know if I need to request a review of this deletion or if it's something that you can remedy yourself.
Thank you

Hi Fastly, I'd like to disagree with your deletion of the Verismic Software article, explain my stance and ask you to reinstate the article. I believe the Verismic article does not fall foul of the G11 rule. The article is factual, referenced with reliable outside sources and written with a neutral point of view.
I realized that every article must stand on it's own and not be compared with others, but in order to prove my good faith, I'd like you to look at two articles: 1E and Verdiem. Both were written by their directors of marketing and neither declared their COI. I feel that both violate the NPOV and yet they have been up since Sept 2009 and June 2010 respectively.
Fastly, would you please review the article again and reverse your deletion? Or if you have a helpful suggestion on how to improve the tone, I'd like to hear it.

Hi. I noticed you said the issue with Fbot's editing rate was "resolved" after I blocked it recently. While you did bring the speed down, the bot is still not in compliance with the requirements. I'll quote it here so we can be clear:
Bots' editing speed should be regulated in some way; subject to approval, bots doing non-urgent tasks may edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots doing more urgent tasks may edit approximately once every five seconds.
I've emboldened the section that applies. In the last 750 edits or so of Fbot, I picked 3 random sections to count how many edits it is doing in a minute. It varied between 20 to 30+. Now, in the quote above, it says urgent tasks may allow for once every five seconds. Your bot has been making an edit every 2-3 seconds and I am doubtful if what its doing can be termed as "urgent". Please fix whatever you need to. Thanks! Killiondude ( talk) 18:39, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure what the bot speed issue is. If the bot is flagged, it shouldn't be causing any problems for RecentChanges, etc. And unless the bot is doing something controversial or something that requires manual review, the edit rate should be completely irrelevant, right?
The reason for the speed guidelines is to prevent flooding of RecentChanges and other venues and to ensure that bots don't do an ungodly amount of damage before someone has the chance to notice. In this case, it looks like the edit rate is irrelevant. Am I missing something? -- MZMcBride ( talk) 01:03, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

In general, you want to keep redirects around unless they're broken or completely misleading or useless. If nothing else, the redirects prevent people from re-using certain poor titles. But primarily it's a matter of trying as hard as possible to keep links working. In old e-mails, sexts, message board posts, and elsewhere on and off the Web. I speak with a bit of experience and familiarity with the topic. ;-) I haven't really delved into the specifics here; I'm simply making a general comment about deleting redirects. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 01:07, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
This article was deleted by you citing G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion. I would appreciate if you could take a second look. From my side, I'd like to add that TamoGraph Site Survey is well-known product among WLAN professionals; it is taught about in vendor-neutral CWNP books and courses, and it is made by a company references to which one can find in hundreds of online publications and dozens of books (e.g. CWAP, CWNA, or CWTS study guides), so notability doesn't appear to be an issue, nor was it cited as a reason for deletion. So apparently you meant advertising or promotion only, of which I can't find any traces in my text. I tried to be totally factual, as I was in my articles about similar products by other companies, for example Ekahau Site Survey. Could you either revise your deletion decision or tell me what specific parts of my article sounded like advertisement and what, in your opinion, should be changed? Thank you.

Yes, you've already mentioned G11, but I was asking to more specific information. Pointing to specific "unambiguous advertising" in the article in question would help. Thank you. WiFiEngineer ( talk) 11:49, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

But for some reason the article was deleted and the logo was deleted by you as it was unused non-free media file for more than 7 days.

Imagine my shock at looking up the page I contributed to and finding it was deleted. I spent hours trying to maneuver through the Wiki pages to create my contributions and thought they were informational. The process of Wiki seems flawed if an editor isn't even given a warning and explanation as to why their page might be deleted. Instead, it's just taken off. Are deleted pages even archived somewhere so that I can retrieve it and redo it? Please let me know. I certainly didn't save it because I couldn't believe it would go missing.

Hi I don't understand why the Sam Magri page was deleted when he his in the Portsmouth FC first team squad (in the second tier of English football!!) and he plays regularly for the England youth teams, when the page was made before he may have not been particularly relevent however now he is part of the first team squad and soon to make his first team debut I feel there will be interest in a page on him. If the page can not be reinstated can I at least have a copy of the page so when he makes his debut (in a few weeks) I can have a copy of the page to put up again.

Dear Fastily (I believe we've interacted a few times),
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 19:18, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
While I don't normally second guess closes on things like TfD, I believe that you have misapplied SNOW on this discussion. Your close, as written, would seem to be unfair to those who raised the multiple valid reasons for deletion. It also doesn't seem to fall into the definition as listed on the SNOW page. As this will most likely be listed in the template of prior deletion discussions on the talk page , I would ask that you reconsider, and refactor, your close as a simple delete decision, and not as a Snowball result.

Dear Fastily,
My request was removed by Miszabot III on the 19th Jan before you managed to reply. Here is my inquiry and hope you'll have time to look into it. Much appreciated:
Thank you very much for your previous response. I believe there was a misunderstanding which I would like to clear up - the article Oxford University Georgian Society was not simply reposted and hence in violation of G4. It was initially removed due to lack of references (please refer to Discussion Page) this has since been specifically addressed, and the article is now well referenced and cited with numerous external sources and reading materials. Current situation does not allow for this topic to ever appear on Wikipedia which makes the encyclopaedia less complete. Its an interesting topic that has tens of analogous articles on Wikipedia (Oxford University Polish Society, Oxford University Greek Society, Oxford University Russian Society etc). I would thus like to kindly ask for the article Oxford Georgian Society / Oxford University Georgian Society to be reinstated. If you believe there are still not enough references and sources, please let me know. Please let me know if you require any additional information / clarification.

There's no question that Taylor Business Institute is notable. It's been advertised, in commercials, ads, in the news, FOR DECADES. It's a business college, fairly well known. I did not write much, at first, but I was gonna get to it. You and others SIMPLY DID NOT GIVE ME THE CHANCE to expand or add context etc. Why not? Why be so hasty, quick, and knee-jerk? I barely wrote it minutes ago, and it's gone already, simply because it was a stub. Taylor Business Institute is sourced, known, and notable. Copiously so. Why do that? It seems like certain Wikipedians who deal with this matter are trigger-happy with the deletion button, without carefully or fairly or intelligently considering the matter, or giving any time. Others could have added to the stub too. So what? It just needed some expanding. But TBI is notable. That's not really debatable. Cheers. Hashem sfarim ( talk) 12:48, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi there,
I have been trying to submit an article 'Marathon Box' and you have deleted it as 'G3: Vandalism'!!!
I understand that Wikipedia has many guidelines and I'm not about to dispute them! However I have two queries, firstly what can I do to rectify this, it's a genuine thing, admittedly the personality/web presence etc has a fairly niche following of 300-400, mostly in Wales and Northern England but never the less we as friends and followers wanted to add a page on his/her antics, hence I spent quite some time going through all the codes etc to submit it!!! Secondly, I appreciate it has been 'deleted but is it still stored somewhere so I can at least retrieve it for myself?
Thanks for you time and happy editing!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marathonbox ( talk • contribs) 10:57, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi!!! A little puzzled by your point!?! If you read the sentence I volunteered the information because I don't think it's a huge amount (I assumed the word "niche" was a giveaway). I appreciate the whole point of this system is that the more experienced contributors, like yourself, are responsible for keeping an eye on the efforts of the new(in our case first time) contributors, but it might be constructive to actually be... Constructive. The phrase you've jumped on was actually part of a question, directed at someone with experience and knowledge of the subject in the hope that they may actually be able to help. I also appreciate, that there are all sorts of guidelines in place to make Wikipedia the fantastic resource it is, and in my opinion one of the reasons it is so superior is the breadth of subject matter. As l said in my previous comment, I appreciate that 'Marathon Box' is essentially a blogger with a relatively small following(to be fair the numbers were Facebook related, the blog is actually quite popular) but those of us who do follow it, enjoy it and thought it was worthy of note. The notability standards are fair enough and as I said earlier, I'm not about to start disputing the guidelines which have made Wikipedia what it is, but I do find the air of superiority in your reply a bit random and completely unnecessary. For future reference you might like to consider "Wikipedia has notability standards, you might be as well reading them". Finally, could you please provide an equally patronising answer to my second point as to whether the original text is still retrievable? As myself and the other fans who discussed submitting it the first place would not only enjoy being replied to as if we are idiots but would also like to keep a copy of the text. Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marathonbox ( talk • contribs) 21:54, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Cheers for that, although I'm mildly disappointed that you answered my strop informatively and as if dealing with... a grown up!!! I have read through some more of the rules ("Raaaa raaaa raaaa you should have read and memorised them all before daring to try and pollute Wikipedia's sacred inner sanctum" - Yes, you are perhaps correct bwilkins, but there are quite a lot and this was my first experience of it and I had understood the open editing principle to be a system where the more experienced helped the newbies) since my last rant and it's fairly clear that this was never an appropriate subject(incidentally the link you sent me is much clearer than the majority of the guidelines I've read so far). As a final point, could an admin please send/e-mail me the text?!? (If that's my new friend, could you also include instructions on how to open, read the e-mail? I'll leave my iPad switched on, so should be able to manage that part all by my self) Thanks again, Another Idiot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marathonbox ( talk • contribs) 00:07, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

I haven't finished adding the article with a friend of mine and realize that you delete. Please alow me to add the whole article for your cosideration and give me suggestions of what to change in order no to look like an advertisment. I do not want to look as advertisment either but I amnot en experience user. So maybe the reference I used was not the best ones. but I think is much better tah similar article in this category.

Greetings Fastily, Thank you for dealing with the deletion of copyrighted image File:Eurovision Selectia Nationala 2012.PNG ( as shown on this deletion log). I have deepest concerns that the user, who I named above, may be a serial copyvio. Luciann has uploaded several images over the last 12 months, all of which are based upon the non-free Eurovision Song Contest images; which they appears to manipulate, and then adds licencing tags stating the work belongs to them. On their main Wikipedia page, the user has had several warnings about this, and yet they still continues to violate copyright legislations. The same user has had File:Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2012.PNG deleted only a few hours ago for the same copyright violation. Plus several other images deleted, all for the same copyvio reason.
This isn't the first time that File:Eurovision Selectia Nationala 2012.PNG has been removed either. On February 3, 2012 the image was nominated for speedy; and subsequently deleted for copyvio on February 11, 2012 (I think you may have deleted that one too). During the nomination process, Luciann personally removed deletion tags, to which they were warned about. With all of these copyright issues cropping up time and time again, I fear that the user may be wandering down a disruptive path unknowingly. Is there any action that should now be taken to prevent further copyvio disruptions from this user? Thank you in advance for your time reading this. Wesley ☀ Mouse 23:29, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

IMHO the topic is "notable". The standards dscribed here are the subject of a considerable amount of work by a committee of an international standards organisation (the sponsor is the IEEE 11073 Standards Committee of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society), and are the basis of products being certified and promoted by a significant trade body concerned with the interoperabiity of personal health devices (go here and search for "11073" http://www.continuaalliance.org/connected-health-vision.html).
If you can be specific about your concerns then I can attempt to get others involved with the creation and use of these standards to address your concerns.
In the mean time it would be very kind of you to restore the page. You are welcome to contact me for further clarification.

I have created a navigation template for Michelin restaurants in the Dutch provinces Groningen, Friesland and Flevoland. But when finished, I noticed that all restaurants are still red links and only the links to related templates are existing. In effect, I guess that the template, at this moment, is a straight candidate for the firing squad. Am I right in that and should I wait with launching till I have done at least 1 restaurant?

Would you kindly have a look at the uploads of Mythy88 who has uploaded several images whose authors or sources are not himself. Several of the images have clear metadata attributions to someone else. He keeps removing deletion notices and now has started claiming some images as his own work and uploading the same previously tagged images to the commons under the new self claims though with somewhat different names. Besides the usual image deletion notices I have posted a number of tailored detailed warnings and information about permission but he has ignored all advise. I can keep tagging the images both here and on the commons or start making formal deletion nominations but I think he need more than that with an admin's intervention.

Hello Fastily,
I received a message about a week ago that an image (File:Truebinaryclock anthony liekens.png) I uploaded was going to be deleted because it said that there was no proof that the author agreed to the CC Attribution license. As instructed I forwarded the email thread between myself and the author to the permissions-en@wikimedia.org address where the author specified the CC Attribution license. Also as instructed I put {{ OTRS pending}} on the file description page to prevent premature file deletion. I did not hear anything back but just noticed that the image was deleted. ???
Could you please reply on my talk page so that I am notified?

Why was
Wikipedia:Syntaxhighlight deleted? It was a redirect to
mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight GeSHi. Your rationale was that it was a "redirect to a deleted or non-existent page", but its target exists and has not been deleted. I thought the redirect was useful since there is no page on Wikipedia itself about the syntaxhighlight MediaWiki extension that is used on Wikipedia. There is
Template:Syntaxhighlight, but that only explains the template use, i.e. {{
syntaxhighlight}}, and not the tag use, i.e. <syntaxhighlight>

Ummm, why did speedy delete Aunt Bam's Place under G8?
G8 states: Examples include talk pages with no corresponding subject page; subpages with no parent page; image pages without a corresponding image; redirects to invalid targets, such as nonexistent targets, redirect loops, and bad titles; and categories populated by deleted or retargeted templates.
This was NOT a talk page. It was NOT a subpage with no parent page. It was NOT an image page without a corresponding image, hell it wasn't an image at all. It was NOT a redirect etc etc. etc.
The only thing that has been going on is that there's an anon IP who's going around vandalizing pages related to Tyler Perry [36] and s/he has been tagging the Aunt Bam's Page article for speedy deletion for no reason. Or, excuse me, based on the reason that the play "doesn't exist". Now, I'm not THAT familiar with Mr. Perry's ouvre but somehow the fact that you can buy tickets for the play - unless this is some elaborate hoax - [37] suggests that the play exists or is in production or something.
Even if somehow the article was a good candidate for deletion, obviously G8 is NOT the appropriate reason.

Hey! How exactly can a discussion with three "keep"s and two "delete"s result in deletion? As you see, people are divided in their opinions and it's a mixed bag. It should not have been deleted because it was used as a fair use image on the film article and accepted by many on the actress' article. Clearly there is no consensus to go by, and I kindly request that you restore it. Shahid • Talk2me 08:25, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
We might have had different opinions, no doubt. I also commend the way ideas get distributed in a discussion, but each and every opinion should have a justification from the user who expresses it. There are certain ways to think, and policies (or at least I think so) cannot be compromised for the views of an editor. If you do think the image contributes significantly more to the article which will be an impossible task for prose, kindly elaborate your point. Your last point was irrelevant, again, pardon me, but deleting an image and supporting a policy is certainly a contribution to the project. Best regards. X.One SOS 14:11, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Fastily, do I understand you do not wish to reply to my messages? I find it frustrating that I refer to an admin and request that he take responsibility for his acts, and instead they invite other editors to settle the discussion, and refrain from making any comments on their own talk page on a topic that is essentially a complainst on an unjustified deletion they have performed. You are the one who has to give me answers, not others, because you are the one who's actually deleted the file. I'm not the only person who has been displeased with your management on FfD, as you can see above, and I'm even more surprised at the way you have been evading the issue on this very talk page, which is most disheartening. I'm sorry, but this is not how I would expect an admin to act (basically avoiding a discussion), and I feel rather silly and uncomfortable with it. If you are not quite sure of how to handle the situation, then I would again request you to restore the file, because no consensus was there, and I explained more than once that basically everything concerning such issues boils down to personal opinion, which you must have considered back then when you deleted the file in question, while essentially ignoring what others had to say (and ironically, now you do just the same). I don't mind replacing the file with another one, but this is not done in such manner (and I totally accept the deletion of the two other files which you had deleted, by the way). Please forgive me if I come across as a random badgerer; this is certainly not my intention, but please do try to understand my position. Shahid • Talk2me 23:02, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Fastily. You deleted the redirect Guru Ravidas under CSD G6 (Housekeeping and routine non-controversial cleanup) following the move of the article Guru Ravidas to Guru Ravidass. However, there are at least three reasons why I can't see this as routine and non-controversial. Firstly, the spelling with a single s is commonly used, so it is a very likely search term, and so a redirect is likely to be useful. Secondly, the article has existed at that spelling for more than four years. It is therefore very likely that external links exist to the article, whether on external web sites, on individual computers, or wherever. For this reason, when a page has existed for a long time like this, it is almost never a good idea to delete the redirect, even if the redirect seems to be an unlikely search term (which, as I have indicated, is not so in this case). That is, in fact, why CSD R3 specifies recently created redirects. Thirdly, there are 179 internal links to the page from other Wikipedia pages, and they were all orphaned by the deletion. Again, after an article has existed for so long, this is likely to be the case
My immediate response to this was to restore the deleted redirect and write the message above to inform you. However, having written the message, I have looked again, and I can see no justification for the move. No reason for the move was given, and a Google search for "Guru Ravidas" produces 915,000 hits, as against 741,000 for "Guru Ravidass". I am therefore going to revert the redirect, but I thought I might as well let you have my thoughts on the redirect anyway, now that I have written them. Please let me know if you think I am wrong, or if you have any other comment you think worth making. JamesBWatson ( talk) 12:48, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Swifty is a bit excited, and doesn't seem to understand the difference between a warning for edit-warring and a warning for vandalism. There's been a substantial edit-warring problem here, but Swifty seems to have taken your warning against one of the participants in an edit-war as an endorsement for his point of view (which seems to be that the Fort Worth Star Telegram, allmusic, and BMI are unreliable sources). If you can take the time to try and calm him down, I'd appreciate it.

Hi Fastily, you deleted my image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Violent-crime-rates-UK-1981-to-2007.png .
This was a mistake because the reason it was deleted (no evidence of permission from the image's creator) does not apply to this image, as I stated in the image information. I created this image from publicly available data, specifically for Wikipedia. I was warned that the image may be deleted, so I responded to the email address I was given to show that I made the image myself (Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 9:32 AM):
To: permissions-en@wikimedia.org
"Dear Wikimedia permissions people,
I notice the message saying my image will be deleted, unless I email this address. The image ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Violent-crime-rates-UK-1981-to-2007.png ) was created by me. I thought I made this clear on the upload, but I'm new to this process so I probably missed something. Please show me what I need to do to show that I created it myself. I plan to create and upload more images for Wikipedia.
Many thanks,
Robin"
I plan to make many graphs for Wikipedia, but won't if they keep getting deleted. Please tell me what I need to do to show that this is my image and that I give permission, other than what I've already done. Be gentle, as I'm new to Wikipedia media content creation.

Dear Fastily,
You, along with Oniongas and Espresso Addict, deleted the article 'Camp Agawam'. Unlike the others, however, you also deleted the picture that went with it separately. Why?
Your reason for the deletion of the article was the 'advertising' policy violation. This was not intentional, and I do not have a separate copy of the article. Why didn't you warn me first?

File:Hamilton Camp Mary Tyler Moore.jpg ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
I deleted the image that I created under my request. I wonder if the image meets WP:NFCC#8 and #3a. This can help you decide: Wikipedia:Media copyright questions/Archive/2012/January#Images of Hamilton Camp. To be honest, the image that I uploaded was of the 1970 episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show; the infobox image is the 2005 photo from the album cover. The guy looked very old in the current image; in 1970, he looked very young. That should meet #8, shouldn't it? -- George Ho ( talk) 23:54, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi - a couple of years ago you added an {{ rk}} tag to this image, though as far as I can see no discussion has ever taken place. Is this correct? If so, should the rk tag be removed?

Hi again Fastily, I am still trying to resolve the deletion of the Alice Smith School Wikipedia page. I have now sent two emails to the OTRS team. Is there anything else I can do? Or am I better off just rebuilding the whole page myself and taking out the quotes from the school AGM that prompted the G12 action?

Dear Fastily,
My request was removed by Miszabot III on the 19th Jan before you managed to reply. Here is my inquiry and hope you'll have time to look into it. Much appreciated:
Thank you very much for your previous response. I believe there was a misunderstanding which I would like to clear up - the article Oxford University Georgian Society was not simply reposted and hence in violation of G4. It was initially removed due to lack of references (please refer to Discussion Page) this has since been specifically addressed, and the article is now well referenced and cited with numerous external sources and reading materials. Current situation does not allow for this topic to ever appear on Wikipedia which makes the encyclopaedia less complete. Its an interesting topic that has tens of analogous articles on Wikipedia (Oxford University Polish Society, Oxford University Greek Society, Oxford University Russian Society etc). I would thus like to kindly ask for the article Oxford Georgian Society / Oxford University Georgian Society to be reinstated. If you believe there are still not enough references and sources, please let me know. Please let me know if you require any additional information / clarification.
Best regards,

Can you restore the deleted talk page? Here's what happened.
Shakespeare's Life was moved to William Shakespeare's life under an uncontroversial move request. However, I have been editing that page, and the move was made without discussion. I tried to move the page back to the original name, but it wouldn't let me until I moved the talk page. I was successful in moving the the talk page with the edit summary "Shakespeare is commonly and universally known by his surname only", but I still for some reason couldn't move the main page back and requested (I thought) help in doing so. So now the talk page is deleted and the main page is still misnamed. Tom Reedy ( talk) 13:45, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I see you deleted this because there was no free alternative photo available. What makes you think this photo is available for a price? Or is available at all in other than the public domain? I obtained the photo from public articles, there is no evidence that the photo is available in any other way, and, as I wrote today, it was probably associated with (and published as part of) a Government project whose resources were in the public domain. Also, no one has stepped forward to assert copyright violation (although I recognize that a lack of complaint is less relevant to my argument, given WP policies concerning copyright). Since there is no evidence that copyright applies to this photograph, the deletion should be reverted. David Spector ( user/ talk) 02:54, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Fastily. You state: "Under Wikipedia non-free content criterion #1, any non-free/copyrighted file which could be replaced by existing (or easily/readily create-able) free alternatives are strictly prohibited on Wikipedia. While you may not personally possess the means to locate/create a freely-licensed alternative, the omission of non-free content whenever possible is intended to encourage individuals with the means and ability to create/locate such a file, to upload that file to Wikipedia."
Please could you indicate the nature of the "existing (or easily/readily create-able) free alternative" to this image that you envision. I do not believe that such a free alternative exists, as I indicated in the image justification section. Thanks. Martin ( talk) 19:31, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Fastily. I'm copying this message which I left for you at Commons, as I wasn't sure if you'd see it there today. Anyhow, I saw you deleted File:Deems Taylor.jpg for no copyright permission after 8 days. I assume it was the one by Carl Van Vechten from the Library of Congress [46] which is PD [47]. I uploaded it again via the Upload Wizard as File:Deems Taylor portrait by Carl Van Vechten.jpg, but I and/or the "Wizard" seem to have made a hash of it. It now has what I hope is the right license and source information but ended up with 2 descriptions.

Hi, I'm a new admin and propose to undelete an image, but would be grateful if you would check first that it's appropriate for me to do so. File:PigottStreetPlaque.jpg was uploaded by N12345n who later changed to use the account LoopZilla, as declared on both user pages. It seems to have been uploaded to Wikipedia, then copied to commons, then deleted from commons and then from Wikipedia due to doubts over the identity of this IP edit.
The deletion discussion Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2012 January 6#File:PigottStreetPlaque.jpg refers to the Commons account AtelierJoly, whose user page explicitly identifies that account as jointly used by the same named individual editor as above plus another named person.
I know for a fact that there is nothing amiss over this image. If I restore it will it be sufficient to summarise the above on the file page? I expect to be able to contact the uploader(s) if they would need to make any further declarations. – Fayenatic L (talk) 22:28, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Fastily
I as a member of the wiki community, member of the copy editors guild, member of the linguistics project and multiple working groups within wikipedia as well as a professional linguist am quite irritated and irate over the fact that you dare delete an article and label it a hoax without even so much as contacting the author or leaving a comment on the talk page requesting clarification. What exactly is your academic or professional background that affords you the justification for doing such?
Restore the page. I cannot do that for some reason because of the way you deleted it nor do I feel I should have to waste my time reentering all the information and typing out all the links and such.
I am so pissed off right now. I open my computer having taken the time while out to locate my list of sources to add references to an article I took the time to add to our body of linguistic articles only to find that earlier work deleted without cause and my efforts labeled as "clearly a hoax".
The only thing that is clearly a hoax here is that you put any effort or consideration into performing the duties of an editor with the slightest diligence. Drew.ward ( talk) 03:54, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
In linguistics, '''verject''' refers to that portion of an utterance that is neither [[Subject_(grammar)|subject]] nor [[Object_(grammar)|object]] and conveys verbal information including [[Grammatical_tense|tense]], [[Grammatical_aspect|aspect]], [[Grammatical_mood|mood]], perfection, [[Grammatical_polarity|polarity]], and [[Voice_(grammar)|voice]].

At Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 February 14 you have closed a number of nominated files as delete despite there having been no discussion whatsoever. This appears to me to be in conflict with Wikipedia:Deletion policy as well as Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators. Could you perhaps shed some light on your actions, perhaps with references to some guideline entries I may have missed, to admin discussions or precedents that would support your line of action? For the record, I realize that some of the nominated files had been orphaned and would be eligible for speedy deletion as such, but for others again I can not see any reason how a discussion could be forfeited. __ meco ( talk) 11:40, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
It seems SFW-XL was deleted as well, rendering the entire series on Passage Research Marketing, Seattle Filmworks, ECN-2 processing a jumbled mess. Since none of the editors of these articles seem to have any relevent knowledge, I really have to ask, why would you meddle in something which you have no firsthand knowledge of? I ask that SFW-XL and Double Exposure, Ltd. Laboratory be restored, referencing C-41 and Dwaynes Photo for reference of comparable institutions of similar importance. Further, I must insist that these pages be left alone by editors who don't 'specialize in photography, photofinishing, or filmmaking related subjects.

Hi you deleted Double Exposure, Ltd. Laboratory despite its notability as being the only operation of its kind in North or South america (article said this.) Looks like you did this on valentine's day with about 1000 other things. I was busy. . . Anyway, would appreciate if you gave me steps how to contest this deletion, contest the speed and lack of timely communication so I could prevent hte deletion. YOu look like a computer science guy with no photography background whatsoever. I have to ask, then: why are you deleting pages you have no knowledge of? As to it being tagged "original research" there were at least five sources I had linked to my article.

Hi, you speedied this under G11 (Unambiguous advertising or promotion). The article is not great, and has clearly been edited by a friend or colleague, but it contains serious sourcing as well: Fortune, Time, New York Times, Jerusalem Post, Business Week, Fast Company. I think that notability is clearly not in question and that the article should be restored and improved. I should hasten to add I'm making this request as an ordinary user, not asking for any form of special treatment! If you decline, I'll just take it to WP:DRV but the instructions there say to ask the deleting admin nicely first! :-)
The subject of the article contacted me to alert me to this issue. I don't think I have a COI of any kind, but I should disclose that I've met Daniel several times at World Economic Forum meetings and similar.-- Jimbo Wales ( talk) 10:25, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, you have speedily deleted Chuckie (DJ) because it apparently was "Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.djchuckie.com/about". I cannot access the article's history anymore, so I am not sure, but I think I created that article in december 2009. When I did, I translated the article on the Dutch-language wikipedia to English. I had a look at the about-page linked by you, and in my memory it looks nothing like the text I translated. If the text you encountered on the article was really similar to the about-page, then I must assume that a the copyright-infringing text was added by a later edit. If so, the article should not have been deleted, just reverted to an earlier version. Is it possible for you to check earlier versions and see if this is the case? Or should I be asking this on WP:DRV? Thanks Mtcv ( talk) 11:29, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Fastily, this is an old story and not very important, but I wanted to raise a point about the redirect you deleted here. The user attempted to place this page in their user space but used the wrong title. Another editor moved it to its likely name but did not notify the creator. You then deleted the redirect as implausible, also without notification.
Again, it is not very important, but two unfortunate things came together with this string of actions: an article in main space which was clearly not ready, and a newbie editor who likely had no easy way of figuring out that their article was not deleted (as the user talk page says) but lives happily in main space. -- Pgallert ( talk) 18:54, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Fastily! I have a question for you, since you are an admin, and I know very very little about WikiProjects. A relatively new editor, User:TBrandley, has been creating a bunch of non-notable pages and categories, many which have been deleted or redirected. (See his talk page for more info on that.) A few editors have tried to mention GNG and such to him, on his talk page and at AfDs, but he doesn't seem to get it. He has just created a new WikiProject WP:WikiProject Programming Blocks and related categories Category:WikiProject Programming Blocks Category:Top-importance programming block articles, Category:High-importance programming block articles, Category:Mid-importance programming block articles, Category:Low-importance programming block articles, etc, and templates Template:WikiProject Programming Blocks/class, Template:Infobox programming block. As I stated, I really don't know much about WikiProjects, but it seems that there is a process for proposal of new projects, which I am pretty sure was not done. I'm not sure really what to do, but I wanted to alert someone before this gets out of hand. Maybe I'm off-base, and Programming Blocks really needs its own project? I have no knowledge of the subject. Can you help or provide some advice? Thanks a bunch. -- Logical Fuzz ( talk) 01:03, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

My uploaded file File:Rosiescott-dv.jpg was deleted from lack of evidence of permission because I failed to add the {{ OTRS pending}} tag to the file. I did however have the copyright owner email permissions-enwikimedia.org using the provided template.
It is not clear on your information page whether: a) I should reupload the file, adding the appropriate tag this time; or b) the file will be reinstated when the email is received; or c) the email has not been received and thus the file was deleted.

Hi Fastily
I'm a little exasperated at the wholesale changes made by you to my wiki page & your 'FAQ' explanations don't satisfy me in this instance so I'd like to engage with you on this. Please see here: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Lewis_Gordon_Pugh. These changes were made on Feb 14, after I'd spent sometime creating them & setting up the appropriate clearance on Commons.
You have removed 4 captioned images from my page. All 4 images were licenced under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported licence. They are my images, I am their creator. They in no way differ from all my other images uploaded to Commons & licenced in the same way. Please explain to me why these have been singled out, & why you deem permission to be inadequate? I am reluctant to have to email Wiki commons to release them as I feel that I shouldn't have to more than double-up on the work required to reinstate them. I really don't understand how I have violated protocol & what entitles you (non-owner, non-creator, non-licensee) to override my editorial control dealing with my content.
If you believe your actions to be fair, please explain why & clarify, then, the licence under which these images should be held in order for them to happily, fairly & legally exist up there on my page.
I look forward to your helpful feedback soonest. Kind Regards Lewispugh ( talk) 10:36, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

I've asked you some time ago to be careful with deletion of user talkpages. I now noticed that you deleted User talk:Lkbunker as 'talkpage of a non-existent user'. Although I can see that as a valid reason when some vandal creates the talkpage of a user who does not exist, it is not when the talkpage is a redirect because the user was renamed. When you delete such pages, the signatures that the editor left before the rename and that link to the user talkpage don't work anymore, and tracking of the remark becomes difficult. I know you do a lot of good work with the deletions, but please slow down and take proper care of page histories when you delete them. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 04:29, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Fastily; would it be possible for you to have another review at this image deletion please?, I have just realized that the image has been deleted since the 25 February 2012, because I was on a short break from Wikipedia editing, and I came across this today when I clicked on the deleted image's link:
Fastily, the image was kept as it was the only image of its type and their was no other free image available, and as it was also a historical image. The image was put for deletion somewhere in mid January 2012 as far as I could remember but it was decided to be kept due to the following reasons that I stated above.
Hi Fastily
Many thanks for your response to my query about image deletion from http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Lewis_Gordon_Pugh. I understand & appreciate the Wiki position.

Okay apparently no one wants to follow the rules when it comes to this song Rimes is most known for the song not Mack or anyone else. As I keep point out to them the sources can be contradicted plus no source states that Mack ever released the song as a single. The page needs to be restored back to Blue (LeAnn Rimes song) instead of Blue (Bill Mack song) as it follows WP:COMMON since Rimes is most known for the song. But no one will listen and people want to do what they want and tell me what to do like they got any business too.

I see you deleted this because there was no free alternative photo available. What makes you think this photo is available for a price? Or is available at all in other than the public domain? I obtained the photo from public articles, there is no evidence that the photo is available in any other way, and, as I wrote today, it was probably associated with (and published as part of) a Government project whose resources were in the public domain. Also, no one has stepped forward to assert copyright violation (although I recognize that a lack of complaint is less relevant to my argument, given WP policies concerning copyright). Since there is no evidence that copyright applies to this photograph, the deletion should be reverted. David Spector ( user/ talk) 02:54, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Also the article is leaning a litle too much in favor of the actress I intend to change that so that the article returns to the required neutral view, or i can start all over too.

I had mentioned reasons why the page should not be deleted. On the talk page have not received any concern about the article but you decided to delete the article. Happy to learn if missing something but so far created the article as per the prescribed guidelines ensuring usage of neautral language , no promotional / marketing mentions , cited in line references from globally respected news sources (which was filtered down as there are numerous mention about the Subject via - News , article , discussion boards , websites etc) . For indian automobile industry the subject have created historical milestones by introducing the global concept for the very first time. 'll be eager to understand your view points to enable post of this article.

hello,
I created an article "Elixir Technologies Corporation" in which i uploaded a few images that were my own creation (graphics), but they got deleted. The licensing and copyright information was also provided but it said the images had copyright violation. Kindly tell me which licensing or copyright tags i need to put in for my own work as well as software screenshots.
Also there was a logo too of the company which i uploaded under the license Creative Commons 3.0 and copyright tags of Registered and Copyrighted. What exactly was the problem in that?
Kindly help and reply asap.

You recently deleted Template:Lord High Gom Togneme Userbox under CSD G6, presumably in response to a {{ db-g6}} tag added by User:Mootros. Unfortunately, the deletion was not as uncontroversial as Mootros believed, as they did not have consensus to make such major changes to the service award templates, and their changes have broken things. Furthermore, Mootros had copied the content of Template:Lord High Gom Togneme Userbox to another template, Template:Gom Userbox. Deleting the original template lost the attribution for that content. I realise that you weren't to know this, but I felt you should know what's going on.
I have submitted the templates to the Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen to have their histories merged. Since, as I understand things, the administrator who merges the history will be able to see the deleted content, I don't think you need to restore the deleted template. If you know how to merge page histories, your help would be greatly appreciated.
I am still tracing through Mootros's edits to find and fix all the damage; I expect to find more examples of similar problems. (Actually, right now I'm going to bed. I'll continue with this tomorrow.) If you deleted any other templates yesterday because of a tag added by Mootros, you might want to double check those deletions. Thank you. – PartTimeGnome ( talk | contribs) 03:19, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello,
It has come to my attention that you deleted Multimedia University back in January as a copyright violation. The page actually has a very long history, including a good article nomination, and should have never been deleted this way. Any infringing text (if indeed there is any - its being looked into now) was clearly a later addition.
I'm sure you were probably just in a hurry and made a mistake that day, as I can't imagine you'd be that careless normally. As such, this is just a friendly reminder to be careful with the delete button. It took nearly two months for someone to notice the error on this fairly high profile article. A similar error on a less well-known (but notable) subject might never be corrected since deletions are rarely reviewed.

Dear Fastily
I have now updated the page (off line) on Elaine Shemilt which was deleted. I have deleted much of the info which came from her website and found other sources which are referenced accordingly. I realise that there is still more to do and add, but before I do this I wanted to check that I am on the right lines?
I have pasted the offline version below:
Extended content |
---|
Elaine Shemilt is an artist and researcher, especially known as a fine art printmaker. [1] Her work ranges across a wide variety of media. However hers is not a conventional approach to the medium. According to the art historian and theorist Alan Woods: "Her work ranges across a wide variety of media. Initially it focused on installation, the various printmaking media were used in an attempt to continue and develop the installations by other means. If the event is inevitably lost , a new artwork is launched from it, and as themes and subjects occur and re-occur, their re-generation might usefully be imagined as located within an extended family of images." [2] She is a graduate of Winchester School of Art and the Royal College of Art and has exhibited internationally including Switzerland, Denmark, Holland, Canada, USA, Australia, Italy and Germany including the Hayward and the Institute of Contemporary Art, London; and the Edinburgh Festival. She established the Printmaking Department of the School of Fine Art, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design (University of Dundee) in 1988 and was Course Director of Printmaking from 1988 -2001. She is currently Professor of Fine Art Printmaking and a Professional member of Society of Scottish Artists [3]and was its President from March 2007-2010. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 2000 and of the Royal Geographical Society in 2009. In 2002 she was made a Shackleton Scholar [4] and awarded a Carnegie Scholarship. She is a Trustee of the South Georgia Heritage Trust [5]which was established to promote the environmental protection and habitat restoration of this natural wilderness in the Southern Atlantic. [6] In 1998 she was invited to lead a project to improve the environment of the military base on the Falkland Isles by the the then Commander, Brigadier David Nichols. The experiences of the staff and student team she put together led inevitably, to independent artworks by all. Four years later in 2002 this led to the exhibition, "Traces of Conflict, The Falklands Revisited 1982-2002" at the Imperial War Museum. Shemilt's work in this exhibition was inspired by the abandoned field hospital at Ajax Bay, and according to the Imperial War Museum Keeper Angela Weight Shemilt " was gripped by the aura of a place where the writ of war did not run and young men were tended irrespective of whether they were friend or foe." [7] An important strand of her work involves collaboration between Art and Science. Her work with the Genome Diagram developed by Dr Ian Toth and Dr Leighton Pritchard at the Scottish Crop Research Institute resulted in a portfolio of work including installations, digital animation, prints and music. [8] She has also collaborated with the video artist Stephen Partridge on a number of installations, including "Rush" first exhibited at the Fieldgate Gallery [9], London and the most recent, "Quattro Minuti di Mezzogiorno", a HiDefinition Video installation. Exhibited in Fuoriluogo 15 - Una Regressione Motivata, Limiti Inchiusi Arte Contemporanea, Campobasso, Molise, Italy. December 2010, January 2011. The exhibition included work by Fausto Colavecchia (IT), Douglas Gordon (GB), and was curated by Deirdre MacKenna, Director of Stills - Scotland’s centre for photography in Edinburgh. == References ==

Hi Fastily - I am wanting to appeal the removal of IR100 Award.jpg from the Dacom article. You use the code F7: Violates non-free content criterion #1, meaning:
The issue with this image is two fold, which was covered in the file's talk page: There is no substitute - it was a private award ceremony, that had an official photographer taking the picture, which was subsequently used in the company's press release about the award. The recipient, Daniel Hochman, has since died. The only reference to the award I could find is the company's own statements and press releases from the time the award was given. The significants of the award is that a major musuem of Science and Industry recognized Dacom and it's fax system as a major innovation - the first digital, sub-minute fax machine printing on plain paper. That technology, developed by Dancom, became the foundation for all subsequent fax machines produced.
The point of the photograph is that it provides a reference for the claim. It cannot be replaced, there is no available free equivalent and there is no other "sourced text" that can provide an alternative. Without the photo, the claim cannot be supported - without the claim, the significance of the subject is greatly diminished. This machine was the first of all modern fax machines - and was recognized by the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry as a breakthrough technology.
The other major factor in allowing this image fall under the promotional and publicity categories:
{{
Non-free promotional}}
{{
Non-free promotional}}
It seems to me that this photo is covered by both of these rules - and is certainly not replaceable. This was covered in the discussion that went on for over two weeks, with a few comments bringing up points that were addressed. I don't understand where the conclusion came from to delete the image - it wasn't reflected in the discussion.
Please restore the image, or at least open it up for review and more discussion. Thanks, Ellis408 ( talk) 20:03, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

The artcile was deleted, from what I can recall of the discussion, due to its not being "notable" enough.

Hi Fastily
I noticed you deleted the page for "microcinema" claiming (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://mubi.com/garage/projects/9)
However, it appears that, in fact, the Garage Digital page on mubi copied its text from the wikipedia entry, not the other way around. Compare the following archive.org snapshots:
From 2009 - the entry for "microcinema" at that time http://web.archive.org/web/20091214135907/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcinema
From 2010 - the former site for Garage Digital http://web.archive.org/web/20100706185248/http://mubi.com/garage/projects/9
It appears that Garage didn't post their text until after the middle of 2010, at which point it had already been in existence on wikipedia.
It's an understandable mistake, but it appears that this deletion shouldn't have happened. Could you un-do it?

Fastily,
You recently closed a deletion discussion of several bookcover photos which I uploaded. [65]
You deleted the photos although every one of them was accompanied by newspaper articles, direct quotes to those news articles, and
in-line citations to those news articles. This critical commentary existed for each and every photo. As such, all of these photos met the
WP:NFC#UUI "critical commentary" standard.
I pointed this fact out repeatedly in the discussion. Also, if you look at the article where these photos were placed, you will see exactly what I mean. [66]
Each and every photo correlated to extensive critical commentary, from sources such as The New York Times, Washington Post, Publishers Weekly, Time Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, Library Journal...the list goes on and on.
Could you review this matter when you get a chance, and re-consider the deletion? I would greatly appreciate it, and thank you for your time. Below is the list of photos.

Hello, will you restore this page please? I know it had an in-progress (or something) template on it but I did not think that inactivity of a month would allow it to be deleted, unless someone else tagged it for deletion. Eventually, we were going to rework the page a bit, and I was using this as a sandbox, it is even referenced on the talk page. I have a dynamic IP and all of the 64.85.xxxx edits to that page were me. I'll be sure to remove the in-progress template once it is restored so as to avoid any further confusion.

According to the reason the April Masini article was deleted, I should have not created the article (it was up for deletion before) but after my initial contest to have the page undeleted I was able to work on it under "User: GMHayes4/April Masini." I checked all the references, and had the page reviewed by multiple Wikipedia editors. I moved the page to stand alone because all of the references are verifiable, and the language on the page is objective. I do not understand why I can not recreate the page, especially when I was given permission to do so with the "Userfied" version. Can I rename the page? It is also not showing up in "My Contributions" which is disconcerting, given the hours I've put into making the article a good one. Now, I don't even have the ability to retrieve the information that was deleted. All of my information is gone; the formatting, the references... Do I have to start over? What should I do now?

Hi. I'm curious and confused as to why this article was deleted under G6. The show is notable, and it is not satisfactorily covered at Guts (TV series). RJaguar3 | u | t 17:10, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm burnt out and tired of the way I've recently been treated. I have literally spent countless hours of my time carefully reviewing and deleting hundreds of pages daily for years and I'm rewarded with spurious trips to AN/ANI over frivolous claims that could have been easily resolved through talk page discussion. The worst part about these trips, is that editors who I've disagreed with in the past, or editors whose pages I have deleted, appear at these threads and bring up their pet beef with me (mostly disagreements about appropriate admin actions I have taken), effectively dragging out these hurtful and aimless discussions for weeks. I'm not claiming to be infallible here, like everyone else, I'm human and I make mistakes, which I'm more than happy to correct and own up to. However, as of late, I feel that every time a mistake I make finds itself in the public eye, I am demonized and purported to be a malicious, ignorant person when that just simply isn't true. It's really quite disappointing. I realize that working in CSD/FfD/PuF/TfD doesn't make one popular, but someone has got to do this grody job, and I'm willing to make that sacrifice if it will ultimately lead to the betterment of Wikipedia, a project I love. I do have my limits, which I've finally found, and not a moment too late. With that said, I'm going to be taking a break from Wikipedia for awhile. I plan on returning in the future, when I'm feeling up to the pressure and responsibilities I have chosen to take on around here, and when I have more time in real life.

You deleted the Technical Architecture page on Wikipedia. I am NOT the author.

I understand your concerns for deleting it as you discovered some G12 copyright infringement. If you can please restore the page in a workspace or someplace that I can access, I'd like to work on addressing the issues so the page will meet the necessary standards.

Hi,
I was reading in the German wikipedia, switched to the English one and saw that the article I wanted to read was deleted. As I had previously not been familiar with the deletion process, I looked it up. The page was deleted for "No indication of notability". I would object on two arguments:
1) a) "When evaluating the notability of organizations or products, please consider whether they have had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education." Intershop (then called NetConsult) in 1994 created arguably the first e-commerce software available (see Online shopping) and continued to be one of the leading software developers for this early time of the market (cf. http://www.thefreelibrary.com/NetConsult's+INTERSHOP+Online+Virtual+Storefront+Software+to+be...-a018936058) b) "A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject." Independent coverage (over the last 13 years) does exist: http://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/handel-dienstleister/new-economy-veteran-intershop-strebt-nach-neuer-groesse/3477040.html, http://www.faz.net/aktuell/finanzen/aktien/new-economy-intershop-ein-verblassender-schatten-der-vergangenheit-141633.html, http://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/new-economy-der-entzauberte-mythos-115512.html, ... and many more
Intershop has also been notorious for its New Economy bubble - being one of the prime examples for it in Germany (company value rose to 11 billion USD in 2000 only to fall to penny stock levels in very short time, see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuer_Markt ). So it even is interesting from a historical point of view (even used in schools: http://www.schulportal-thueringen.de/web/guest/media/detail?tspi=1195). see also http://www.insead.edu/v1/projects/cgep/Research/Industrystudies/Computer/Intershop.pdf, http://dimetic.dime-eu.org/dimetic_files/Buenstorf%20Fornahl%20JEE%20Intershop.pdf, http://books.google.de/books?id=nbSNQFjAgTkC&pg=PA353&lpg=PA353&dq=intershop+%22new+economy%22&source=bl&ots=dICjmRO0po&sig=vhKmsOkZsTevDMrHL7Wvsjp9-Qc&hl=de&sa=X&ei=JcN0T5OSFYiPswbplsDSDQ&ved=0CGkQ6AEwCDgo#v=onepage&q=intershop%20%22new%20economy%22&f=false, http://books.google.de/books?id=nbSNQFjAgTkC&pg=PA353&lpg=PA353&dq=intershop+%22new+economy%22&source=bl&ots=dICjmRO0po&sig=vhKmsOkZsTevDMrHL7Wvsjp9-Qc&hl=de&sa=X&ei=JcN0T5OSFYiPswbplsDSDQ&ved=0CGkQ6AEwCDgo#v=onepage&q=intershop%20%22new%20economy%22&f=false
2) Other, very similar, pages for companies with much less significance still exist. For example, see Demandware, a company from the same segment, with about the same revenue, and with the same founder. Compared to the German article on Intershop (to which the English one was probably very similar before deletion), it has even less depth. And most of the sources are in fact quoting articles from the local paper rephrasing press-releases by the company or its customers.
I think this should be enough reason for undeletion. Should I post a Request for Undeletion? Can you undelete it directly?
I suppose the article itself lacks quality (the German one does), but that is another matter.
Regards,
TvF — Preceding

The MDRC artcle page was deleted on the basis of "unambiguous advertising". We are a non-profit that offers nothing for sale, and does not seek contributions from the public. Since we can no longer see the article, I'm not sure what you might have objected to. The original article was basically an account of our history and areas of work. I am not the author of the page, and don't know if it was edited or changed from the last time I looked at it - which would have been quite some time ago. If the article can be resotored, and you can indicate what you found objectionalble we will edit the material to address those concerns. MDRC has played a prominent role in the evaluation of anti-poverty programs in the US over the last 40 years and is mentioned in several other Wikipedia articles. The article about it serves a useful infomative purpose.

Dear sir/ma'am
I respect your rules and regulations and I know that your decision of removing this page was not wrong, but being the resident of the city Solan I used the government PDF to put extra info to Solan wikipedia, which is not worng. I just used the data for the information only, as the data was in figures so it could not be edited or changed. that is why I exactly use the same data.kindle roll back the page as it is very inportant for our city, lot of people use the page for information, and if still you think that the data was not ment for wikipedia then you can delete the particular data from the page, leaving rest of the wikipedia of Solan city as such
Looking forward for your positive action

Hi Fastily -
Some time back I found the Wikipedia page on "Munay-ki" - I was interested because several of my friends had gone through this initiation and were asking me to do the same. I thought it was a little fishy, and wanted to see something besides the "5 star reviews". The Wikipedia page seemed to have the only information that raised issues - well, the only one that raised issues about the rites that I could find on the web, and even if it lacked the "third party references" (was that what you called the problem?), it was valuable to me. Tonight I went back looking for it, and it's gone!
I wish there was a way to keep information like this available, even if it's not as well referenced as we'd like. Once a page is deleted, is there a way to find it in some sort of archives?
Many thanks!

Hello,
I am a professional model and actress who began working professionally at the age of four in numerous national advertising campaigns. You can find proof of Warner Brother's feature film and FOX series credits dating back to 1995 on IMDb. I took some time off to study my craft further, pursuing an education in acting and art at Columbia University in 2002, and the University of Notre Dame and London's Globe Theatre from 2004-2008, and have been working as such full-time since 2008. Please see the link to below to the cover of Notre Dame magazine, which contains an article regarding my recent projects. My modeling work has been published nationally in 2010 in US Weekly Magazine, also linked below, in which I was featured in a two-page advertisement spread for Verizon Wireless and the movie Inception wearing a couture gown by the Walter Collection. I have also been featured in an eight page editorial in Swoop magazine Fall 2011 and another two page article on a Los Angeles fashion show I walked in is featured in the Spring 2012 issue of the same magazine. I am represented by The Gage Group and Betwixt Talent in Los Angeles as an actress, and Elysium Agency as a model, all professional agencies based in Los Angeles. My full portfolio is available on my website at www.LondonVale.com, and my acting credits can be checked on the IMDb. You can view my full acting reel and resume at LACasting and Breakdown Express. My acting reel is also available on my website. Please let me know if you'd like to request to view full versions of the films in which I've acted. I would appreciate it if you could kindly restore my Wikipedia page, as the information posted on my page is correct and there is sufficient information to support that fact.

Hi Fastily,
I'm the owner of House of Magic UK and I noticed you deleted the page on it. You stated the reasons being it 'is a shop and a business, not a museum' whilst that is true it is partly a shop, it also has many other features.
House of Magic UK for instance is one of only five remaining bricks and mortar stores left in the country. The business also has lectures by the top magicians from around the world. It also provides courses and tuition on how to learn magic either as a hobby or a profession.
There aren't many places like this left in the world let alone the UK, a traditional magic store so it's a shame you felt the need to delete it 'because it's a shop' when in fact it is so much more.

But I was just wondering if there is any way I can recover the text of the article so I can edit it to make it not advert-y, rather then having to re-write it from scratch with no point of reference? Thanks. 109.149.190.198 ( talk) 16:48, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Fastily,
I'm the owner of House of Magic UK and I noticed you deleted the page on it. You stated the reasons being it 'is a shop and a business, not a museum' whilst that is true it is partly a shop, it also has many other features.
House of Magic UK for instance is one of only five remaining bricks and mortar stores left in the country. The business also has lectures by the top magicians from around the world. It also provides courses and tuition on how to learn magic either as a hobby or a profession.
There aren't many places like this left in the world let alone the UK, a traditional magic store so it's a shame you felt the need to delete it 'because it's a shop' when in fact it is so much more.

Hi, am planning to upload again the file Duhamel.jpg linked by the article Division of labour. You removed it on 20th of January because of lack of licensing information.

I've had quite some time to think about it, and I have decided to end my involvement with the English Wikipedia. Over the past few weeks, I have been considering how I have been rewarded for my work, reading AN/ANI, and keeping up with the latest news. It has definitely taken me all too long to arrive at an inevitable conclusion: this amazing project is also home to a community that belittles and harasses its own members for the most idiotic and childish reasons (e.g. grudges, boredom, amusement, sport, dirty politics).
The problem here, is not with the WMF, site rules, or individual editors, but with the contagious witch-hunt mentality of the community. I know, it's easy, and perhaps even fun to ostracize and single an editor out, seduce the masses with promises of drama, and freely harass and attack that poor soul without fear of retribution. During such times, and even in general, we have a tendency to focus on the negative and overlook the positive; stellar contributions are rewarded with silence, and mistakes, regardless of how minute or well-intentioned, are met with aggressive complaints and/or trips to AN/ANI.
The thing most people fail to understand is that there is a real person reading all these insults on the other side. Throughout my tenure here, I have seen countless editors, from IPs to Admins, to Arbs, say things or insult others in ways that they would dare not in real life. Such has only become more apparent to me during my break from Wikipedia. I have been actively watching, no, desperately reading and watching various talk pages, discussion boards, and noticeboards, searching for something to wholly prove me wrong. I have not been met with success in my search. Given the current state of things, I believe that Wikipedia is going to destroy itself through mob-mentality and infighting. This project is ill, very ill, and I fear for its future.
Ironically, for the longest time, I've always wondered why so many of our established and valued contributors continuously departed the project at an ever increasing rate. Regrettably, I understand fully now, and really do sympathize with the departed. Don't get me wrong here though, I have thoroughly enjoyed the last four years I have committed to this project. I've decided to retire now, because down the road, when I look back, I wish to remember editing Wikipedia as positive experience, lest any more negative experiences I might encounter should outweigh the good. When I joined Wikipedia back in 2008, the atmosphere was so much more welcoming and collegial. I can only hope, for the benefit of the encyclopedia, that we will one day make a return to the open, relaxed, and supportive environment that was once an integral part of Wikipedia. Until then, Wikipedia is a place I cannot be.
Best Wishes and Good Luck to you all, FASTILY (TALK) 07:36, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
"Given the current state of things, I believe that Wikipedia is going to destroy itself through mob-mentality and infighting. This project is ill, very ill, and I fear for its future."I agreee with this completely. Essentially every well-known user that has left the project for the last 6+ years has said essentially the same thing. When will the community listen and decide to change? 64.40.57.37 ( talk) 10:15, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Here's a barnstar for all of your contributions with you. I agree that Wikipedia's mentality is declining and we are losing more editors than we are gaining. That also includes admins and bereaucrats. Eventually we will run out and Wikipedia will crash.

It is rather ironic. You're someone who I'm not sure I've ever been in agreement with elsewhere, and yet you have articulated so eloquently the very same dismay that I've felt for so long. Wikipedia is an amazing project with some amazing people chiseling away at it, but behind the veil of an intellectual nexus lies a toxic environment where one's spirit can so easily be shattered for the most insignificant of infractions. Bureaucracy has overtaken reason, good faith has vanished in the midst of a gang mentality, and a callous disregard for the feelings of others has all too often been justified by calling it simple "honesty".
It's a shame to lose an editor as principled as yourself, but I understand why you have chosen to leave. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I appreciate all you've done for Wikipedia over the years. A good thing may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but collectively they comprise something truly extraordinary.

Thanks for uploading File:JonathonBand3.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Hey Fastily, I also left a note about this over on Commons, but wanted got cover all my bases and/or be redundant... Anyway, if you could take a look at this user's images they've been uploading I think they all might be copyright violations/incorrectly formatted/etc. Not sure quite what to do so am hoping you could take a look at their images for me - maybe I'm wrong and they really *did* take all those pictures etc...

What do you think of it? If I create the article with the information above, will you delete it? Please reply on my talk page. Gug01 ( talk) 16:36, 24 December 2014 (UTC) Gug 01
Dear Fastily,
I have noticed that you deleted the file of the caricature of Kostia Vlasto by SEM. I think I had enough information in the file description to proove that the caricature is in the Public Domain.
Could you, Please, explain me the reason that the file was deleted ?
Many thanks Actia Nicopolis ( talk) 00:07, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
