Hi IronGargoyle, I see you made [ this edit to "fix" an incomplete closure of mine. Something appears to have gone badly wrong. I intended to close the Indigo debate, but after your "fix", it looks like I closed both Indigo and SnarXiv.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of AlphaCom. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. 121.99.164.96 ( talk) 04:28, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
I found another article referencing AlphaCom. Would referencing the information contained in http://aplawrence.com/Security/ssh.html help to raise the quality of the AlphaCom article and hopefully keep it restored? The author of that article has been mentioned in TechRepublic with regards to the author's knowledge in the area of terminals: http://www.techrepublic.com/article/ap-lawrence-delivers-sco-unix-linux-information151and-lots-of-it/#.
Hi IronGargoyle -
I'd ask you to revisit the way you closed the Blue Morpho DRV. As it stands, the closing language contradicts what has actually occurred. The recreation of a substantively improved draft hasn't happened; User:BDD restored the AfD'ed version of the page during the duration of the DRV for the purposes of discussion. I reinserted (frankly mediocre) content from the history of the article, and added in a list of six reliable sources that back up the statements in the text I restored (it's worth remembering that although in-line citations are best practice, we don't require them.) I think that the points raised by User:Rich_Farmbrough in the DRV were poignant; with a well-established community member claiming that sources exist, it's a bit of a violation of AGF to not ask them to provide those sources (and, although Bearian did, now that we have ping functionality, you can ensure someone will actualy see the question.)
But, in any case, the current closing message on the DRV is not in accordance with what has actually occurred, and it is something probably worth remedying. The current version of the article was created by BDD for the duration of the DRV for the purposes of the discussion, but (a) still exists, and (b) would almost certainly pass any new AfD. So rather than allowing recreation to be performed at editorial discretion, recreation has been performed as a purely administrative action by BDD and the current article would pass an AfD with flying colors -- which is pretty much an undelete DRV close. (I guess the alternative here would be deleting the article BDD recreated, but since it would pass an AfD, that doesn't seem to be a very sensible course of action.)

What?
I merely added that it is CONSIDERED one of the greatest films of all time, not that it WAS one of the greatest films of all time. Stating that something is "considered" great is merely a statement of a group's opinion and so doesn't clash with any rule on neutrality as it's not stating an opinion on that thing's worth, good or bad, but merely states how something is perceived.

Sure, maybe I haven't added thirty articles to Wikipedia, but that doesn't mean my contributions aren't valid, and it certainly doesn't give you the right to imply that I'm stupid or cannot read and it doesn't make you a better person than me.

You may not be familiar with University Challenge, or at least im hoping this is the reason you don't find it noteworthy. As a institution which in its current form has been running for 20 years, the achievement to even be on one of the teams is noteworthy. Never mind if you are smart enough to be an integral member of a team who came runners up. Chris Beer was mentioned numerous times on social networking sites during the shows broadcast due to him 'smashing it' and also due to his quirky last name. As a resident of Retford I'm proud to say I'm from the say town as Chris Beer, and it is also fair to assume he is the most intelligent resident of the historic market town. So I leave you with this, IronGargoyle, if you can for a second imagine the stress of having to appear on national television against some of the most intelligent people in Britain and not only hold your own but also 'smash it'. Yet you don't deem it noteworthy, than all i can say is poor Chris Beer.
I hope you can see that this is worthy of wikipedia and you'll undo your edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.106.7 ( talk) 13:52, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Trying to figure out why you decided to remove 60% of the missing breweries for the List_of_breweries_in_Alaska page.
History only says "remove unlinked entries referenced only to linkspam" however this is not linkspam, these are the actual references to validate the existence of the breweries listed.
As opposed to outright deletion, let's work together to get the information in a format that you prefer.
Removal of facts from a wiki page is not the right approach.

Despite Luke Dearden's contributions to the Sasquatch hunt in the Trout Lake region, IronGargoyle does not find it "constructive" to include Dearden's efforts on the Trout Lake Wikipedia. If necessary, I can cite primary research with the Trout Lake article addition. Iron Gargoyle sounds like one of many ignorant citizens who denies the existence of Bigfoot - despite a plethora of "constructive" evidence. Have you looked at a map of Northern Canada, lately? I find that this information, although possibly located under the incorrect subheading, is highly relevant. Luke Dearden is a citizen of Trout Lake who paved the path to recent widespread Bigfoot research at a Trout Lake local level. Whether IronGargoyle believes in Sasquatch or not is irrelevant to how "constructive" a post is. Trout Lake culture has grown due to Dearden's efforts -- and it would be an act of prejudice to omit certain parts of Trout Lake culture just because the beliefs represented are not currently held by the vast majority. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.131.84.121 ( talk) 19:26, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Dear IronGargoyle, I've modified the wikipedia page for the Central European Journal of Mathematics as a former member of its Board before having resigned. In order to see what was the Board before the massive resignation one can lookup http://www.springer.com/mathematics/journal/11533?detailsPage=editorialBoard As you can notice, this page contains the last Editor-in-Chief listed on wikipedia. The new CEJM website cited in wikipedia http://degruyteropen.com/serial/cejm/ does not correspond anymore to the previous information.
So please include the following modification: As of March 2014, the Editor-in-Chief resigned together with the quasi-totality of the Board in protest against the transformation of the journal, recently taken over by De Gruyter, into a "golden open access" journal financed by author charging fee.

I'll join in on this conversation, since we seem to be following each other around vandal-hunting this afternoon [damn, you're fast, lol]. Thanks for blocking a couple of the users that have been especially problematic. I've been doing the hunting and reverts manually, by calling up recent edits and then looking for tell-tale signs [IP address + no edit summary + "that certain something]. It's a bit slow, but it's taught me a lot about looking for vandalism, and especially what to leave alone for the more experienced editors. But I do find that my clunky method means that I have to go to at least look at the previous edit to see if there are multiple instances in a row. In that case I have to leave it alone, since I can't rollback. Frustrating, but I do understand the reason to restrict that. At some point, though, I'll probably request it to make the process a bit easier. Prof. Mc ( talk) 19:04, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm hoping for a bit of advice from the perspective of someone with much more experience. Yesterday, I think, I reverted some unsourced edits on Hyperinflation. After the user re-introduced the material with sources I looked at the talk page. As you can see from my comments at the bottom, the page seems to have become home to what might be considered an "edit war." That is, the edits being made are essentially an argument about which economic metrics to use. The page as it exists now is very awkwardly written, largely because of the recent edits. I made some comments on the talk page, near to the bottom. As you can see, the person introducing the material does admit that the ongoing edits are part of an argument within the discipline. The page itself, though, is suffering.

Mr. Gargoyle, I am writing you to dispute the deletion of my external link "Ferrari F430 Prices" from the Ferrari F430 page. I wanted to inquire the reasoning behind the deletion. I read through the external links guide provided in your initial message and found no violation to frowned upon policies. Many people looking for information about the F430 also desire to know the current market value of the vehicle. Many Ferraris are bought and sold depending on the projected depreciation, and in some cases appreciation, of the value of the vehicle. It provides some basic, yet informative value to the article. The source "FerrarDIY.com" is also a very informative site, targeted to current and potential Ferrari owners, and not "spammy" in the least.

I found another article referencing AlphaCom.

Hi IronGargoyle -
I'd ask you to revisit the way you closed the Blue Morpho DRV. As it stands, the closing language contradicts what has actually occurred. The recreation of a substantively improved draft hasn't happened; User:BDD restored the AfD'ed version of the page during the duration of the DRV for the purposes of discussion. I reinserted (frankly mediocre) content from the history of the article, and added in a list of six reliable sources that back up the statements in the text I restored (it's worth remembering that although in-line citations are best practice, we don't require them.) I think that the points raised by User:Rich_Farmbrough in the DRV were poignant; with a well-established community member claiming that sources exist, it's a bit of a violation of AGF to not ask them to provide those sources (and, although Bearian did, now that we have ping functionality, you can ensure someone will actualy see the question.)
But, in any case, the current closing message on the DRV is not in accordance with what has actually occurred, and it is something probably worth remedying. The current version of the article was created by BDD for the duration of the DRV for the purposes of the discussion, but (a) still exists, and (b) would almost certainly pass any new AfD. So rather than allowing recreation to be performed at editorial discretion, recreation has been performed as a purely administrative action by BDD and the current article would pass an AfD with flying colors -- which is pretty much an undelete DRV close. (I guess the alternative here would be deleting the article BDD recreated, but since it would pass an AfD, that doesn't seem to be a very sensible course of action.)

The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for web content. Please help to establish notability by adding reliable, secondary sources about the topic. If notability cannot be established, the article is likely to be merged, redirected, or deleted. Find sources: "An Drochaid Eadarainn / The Bridge Between Us" – books · scholar · JSTOR · free images (April 2013)

I merely added that it is CONSIDERED one of the greatest films of all time, not that it WAS one of the greatest films of all time. Stating that something is "considered" great is merely a statement of a group's opinion and so doesn't clash with any rule on neutrality as it's not stating an opinion on that thing's worth, good or bad, but merely states how something is perceived.

You may not be familiar with University Challenge, or at least im hoping this is the reason you don't find it noteworthy. As a institution which in its current form has been running for 20 years, the achievement to even be on one of the teams is noteworthy. Never mind if you are smart enough to be an integral member of a team who came runners up. Chris Beer was mentioned numerous times on social networking sites during the shows broadcast due to him 'smashing it' and also due to his quirky last name. As a resident of Retford I'm proud to say I'm from the say town as Chris Beer, and it is also fair to assume he is the most intelligent resident of the historic market town. So I leave you with this, IronGargoyle, if you can for a second imagine the stress of having to appear on national television against some of the most intelligent people in Britain and not only hold your own but also 'smash it'. Yet you don't deem it noteworthy, than all i can say is poor Chris Beer.
I hope you can see that this is worthy of wikipedia and you'll undo your edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.106.7 ( talk) 13:52, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Trying to figure out why you decided to remove 60% of the missing breweries for the List_of_breweries_in_Alaska page.
History only says "remove unlinked entries referenced only to linkspam" however this is not linkspam, these are the actual references to validate the existence of the breweries listed.
As opposed to outright deletion, let's work together to get the information in a format that you prefer.
Removal of facts from a wiki page is not the right approach.

Despite Luke Dearden's contributions to the Sasquatch hunt in the Trout Lake region, IronGargoyle does not find it "constructive" to include Dearden's efforts on the Trout Lake Wikipedia. If necessary, I can cite primary research with the Trout Lake article addition. Iron Gargoyle sounds like one of many ignorant citizens who denies the existence of Bigfoot - despite a plethora of "constructive" evidence. Have you looked at a map of Northern Canada, lately? I find that this information, although possibly located under the incorrect subheading, is highly relevant. Luke Dearden is a citizen of Trout Lake who paved the path to recent widespread Bigfoot research at a Trout Lake local level. Whether IronGargoyle believes in Sasquatch or not is irrelevant to how "constructive" a post is. Trout Lake culture has grown due to Dearden's efforts -- and it would be an act of prejudice to omit certain parts of Trout Lake culture just because the beliefs represented are not currently held by the vast majority. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.131.84.121 ( talk) 19:26, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Dear IronGargoyle, I've modified the wikipedia page for the Central European Journal of Mathematics as a former member of its Board before having resigned. In order to see what was the Board before the massive resignation one can lookup http://www.springer.com/mathematics/journal/11533?detailsPage=editorialBoard As you can notice, this page contains the last Editor-in-Chief listed on wikipedia. The new CEJM website cited in wikipedia http://degruyteropen.com/serial/cejm/ does not correspond anymore to the previous information.
So please include the following modification: As of March 2014, the Editor-in-Chief resigned together with the quasi-totality of the Board in protest against the transformation of the journal, recently taken over by De Gruyter, into a "golden open access" journal financed by author charging fee.

I'll join in on this conversation, since we seem to be following each other around vandal-hunting this afternoon [damn, you're fast, lol]. Thanks for blocking a couple of the users that have been especially problematic. I've been doing the hunting and reverts manually, by calling up recent edits and then looking for tell-tale signs [IP address + no edit summary + "that certain something]. It's a bit slow, but it's taught me a lot about looking for vandalism, and especially what to leave alone for the more experienced editors. But I do find that my clunky method means that I have to go to at least look at the previous edit to see if there are multiple instances in a row. In that case I have to leave it alone, since I can't rollback. Frustrating, but I do understand the reason to restrict that. At some point, though, I'll probably request it to make the process a bit easier. Prof. Mc ( talk) 19:04, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm hoping for a bit of advice from the perspective of someone with much more experience. Yesterday, I think, I reverted some unsourced edits on Hyperinflation. After the user re-introduced the material with sources I looked at the talk page. As you can see from my comments at the bottom, the page seems to have become home to what might be considered an "edit war." That is, the edits being made are essentially an argument about which economic metrics to use. The page as it exists now is very awkwardly written, largely because of the recent edits. I made some comments on the talk page, near to the bottom. As you can see, the person introducing the material does admit that the ongoing edits are part of an argument within the discipline. The page itself, though, is suffering.

I read through the external links guide provided in your initial message and found no violation to frowned upon policies. Many people looking for information about the F430 also desire to know the current market value of the vehicle. Many Ferraris are bought and sold depending on the projected depreciation, and in some cases appreciation, of the value of the vehicle. It provides some basic, yet informative value to the article. The source "FerrarDIY.com" is also a very informative site, targeted to current and potential Ferrari owners, and not "spammy" in the least.
