Thank you so much for lifting my ban. It was very concerning to me, and I appreciate your fast adjudication. I also have thanked Orange Mike for his support. My name change was simple and already is in effect. Again, thanks! Davidneflorida ( talk) 02:59, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

After your warning of edit-warring, this [1] was posted on the Devsirme talk page, notice the anon IP address which later Kenzo400 or Kenzo4000 changed to his name. Statements like this, "I know you like to have the last word, but it's time to grow up.", are unacceptable, along with the other lies and personal attacks by Kenzo400 and COMPANY. But congratulations, I WILL NOT BE editing or discussing on that article again. So you win. Just another example how sockpuppetry,edit-warring and personal attacks win out over university sources. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 13:35, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi JamesBWatson. I noticed that you recently blocked a troll account that had been vandalizing the Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo page, among others. As the editor who started the article, there have been some recent developments in the news regarding Farmajo's proposed resignation that I would like to update the page with if possible (c.f. [2]); thought I'd first contact you about it to make sure that this is feasible. Please advise. Best regards, Middayexpress ( talk) 14:06, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Do you believe I am too bold? I noticed that I have made many mainspace edits, and rarely discuss them on talk pages. I do, however, discuss some edits on user talk pages. I have also created talk page posts for major changes such as Talk:Catholic Church#English. I was just wondering what your thoughts were. I was also considering putting myself up for editor review.

My page Seth (pianist) has been wrongfuly deleted and i wish for it to be put back up. you said that there was no reason why i should be noted but i am a performer with an album coming out i have already sold over 4000 albums the digital download is released in summer as physical copies stopped being produces. and i also said that no references were currently avaliable and it says in your terms that as long as you will put them in at a later date that it is ok. my page did not brake any of your rules and i want my page back. i know that wikipedia keeps copies of all its pages in cached form so i want my page back as i havent broke your rules you have wrongfully deleted my page. it wasnt advertising, or spam or hoax you have wrongfully deleted my page and i want it back — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZZSETHZz ( talk • contribs) 01:57, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
I am a recording artist and i have released the record it is now going to digital download as the physical copies stopped being made. and wikipedia stated that REFERENCES MUST BE INCLUDED EVEN IF THAT IS AT A LATER DATE BUT IT MUST BE STATED THAT THEY WILL BE ADDED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. and i am not promoting myself and also there used to be a page on here about lim hyung joo a world famous singer but that was removed because he isnt notable WTF!!!! hes world famous. my page did not brake any of your rules and i can provide some references but i didnt do so as they are out dated and would be even worst if i added them. if you can tell me one thing my page did that it was not suppose to i will say ok but i did not do anything to break your rules. i can provide evidence of the documentary claim that i was asked to appear through several emails. and i am not currently in the third party information because: APR is now doing my music where as before it was EMI so i am not currently in apr's pages as of this moment. i also had not finished the page i have yet to add lots of information as i wanted something to work with and was going to add to it in about 2 hours but it has already been deleted. my page did not brake your rules. — Preceding

Message moved here from archived page. It refers to discussion at User talk:JamesBWatson/Archive 28#The Fleming Hong Kong article. Although it makes sense to keep discussion of one topic together, editing archived talk pages can make it difficult to keep track of current discussions, so it is better to open a new section and link to the old one.

...was not a complaint with an administrator, it was a complaint with an apparent "good practice" here of blocking people hours after they have stopped. It's a policy thing, and as such I thought it would be appropriate to address it on the policy page.

Hi, you declined my request for speedy deletion of the disambiguation page Castanheiro. IMO it meets the requirements for speedy deletion: it does not link to any pages about places, persons or objects named Castanheiro. It does link to two articles about municipalities that contain a village named Castanheiro (no further info about those villages in those articles), but is that enough to keep this disambiguation page? Markussep Talk 08:18, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Hello, you recently speedily deleted a userspace page about Thousand Kites, and I wrote my question on my own talk page as you requested. You stated that the article was too promotional. It was intended to be informational--as a new intern, one of my first responsibilities was to create a neutral, informative wiki page about the organization. If you could respond to my inquiry directly on my talk page, it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm getting tired of reverting this character. He seems to have a particular obsession with Glenn Shadix, persistently adding him to the Frankenweenie film. Evidence of him playing games and trying to rewrite the career of this actor are his edits to Sleepy Hollow (film): he just reverted [3] Shadix's "role" there (which is correct), but seemed to have no problem when he added it [4] back in March. Annoying? Pretty much... Doc talk 20:36, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

While I am an intern with the company that holds the copyrights for up the ridge, the wikipedia article I created was completely neutral, and the material in it was notable and informative, not promotional. What do you suggest I do? Are there any specific parts of the page that seemed to be slanted to you? I will gladly edit them. I have only been with this company for two weeks, so I am not in a position to provide any opinionated information, I am simply stating the facts as they are.

An IP added Synthetrix to the page of Wilmington, Los Angeles about two weeks ago. I reverted the revision. He just added it again, and I reverted it. I don't want to get into a slow-speed edit war and would like to affirm that because the page Synthetrix was deleted in the past, he cannot be added as a notable resident. This can then be seen as clear vandalism, and would not be considered an edit war. Am I correct? Ryan Vesey ( talk) 20:44, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
While using Huggle I frequently find instances where dates (either days or years) are changed on an article. I saw one again just recently, and decided to contact you to ask about this. The edits I am referring to usually are written without an edit summary and no source is added. In the past, I have assumed good faith and left it, but I was wondering if an uncited, unsummarized change of date should be treated as vandalism. Ryan Vesey ( talk) 02:40, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

i can't see the page Adine Gavazzi any more. It does not violate any copyright and it is intended to orient scholars, researchers and students with a good bibliography on the subject. Can you pleas help me unlock the page?

Hello Mr Watson,
I am the (French) editor of the page you deleted about Jean-Pierre Garnier-Malet. I am curious you deleted it as a hoax. I am his publisher in the US. All his scientific publications are true and can be verified. I have the paper presented at the Academy of Sciences in Paris where his demonstration, about the Laplace-Bernouilli equation, is presented with his name : Jean-Pierre Malet. He did received the Best Paper Award from the AIP in 2006 :I also have this publication. All the other references can be verified and true. Would you be fair enough to do so, please? Perhaps I did not include the right format of his publications: if it is the case I am sorry. If you can indicate me how to do it, I will be pleased to comply. As it is my first editing, I certainly can do some mistakes and I gladly accept all remarks. My name is my real name and the work, existence and publications of Jean-Pierre Garnier-Malet are true, real and no fantasy. I really appreciate your work on Wikipedia, but please, verify Jean-Pierre's publications and you will see by yourself that there is no hoax there. As a scientist yourself, I can imagine you verify what is easy to verify: scientific publications are so. And yes, it is more time consuming than just deleting the page as an hoax. I truly again appreciate your follow up on this matter. Thank you.

You recently deleted a page called Virodhi Himsa. I believe this to be by mistake. I was wanting to add information to the article. I was once a student of the philosophy and received college credits for learning it. The philosophy is also used in youth homes all over the United States to help children. I beg you reconsider your deletion and allow others to enhance this page. I and many of my students find it an article of great interest. People should add information to this article from all over the world. It appears the page was just created and is already deleted. This is not common for Wikipedia.

There must be a mistake. The text went down the page from what I seen. I can read well. It said much more than protective violence and also had quotes from a few doctors. It was looking very nice and was good information. Is there a problem with Wikipedia? Why would you see one thing and readers see another? I will wait a few days and see if its fixed if not we will put up a article from the college. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. Ramav ( talk • contribs) 13:35, 17 June 2011 (UTC) Looks like their may be a few pages deleted this could be the problem.

Here is his old account and from the information it seems that he was blocked for an inappropriate username (SineBot1, username with bot in it) and for a tiny suspicion of sockpuppetry but that was never followed up on.

Can you look at the first sentence of this section? It states that they sailed in the S.S. Onega (Oneida?). This looks terrible and I can't find sources for either. The editor who put it in stated on the talk page, "Lucas records the ship carrying his parents to the Falklands after their marriage as S.S. Onega whereas the display board in Harberton church records it as the S.S. Oneida." Do I remove one, or find a way to work around the entire thing?

I have reworked the wording of the Thousand Kites Wikipedia page that my colleague wrote so that I believe it no longer has a promotional tone. If you think that it still does, could you help me to remove that tone rather than delete the page altogether? It's not as though this is untrue or non-notable information. It is very relevant, as this organization has thousands of followers, and we simply wish to be informative about it. Also, when we have linked the Up the Ridge documentary or Thousand Kites page to the prisons that they focus on, the links are continuously deleted. I understand that this seems like promotion, but anybody interested in looking at the pages of these specific prisons would probably find it helpful to be linked to a documentary that directly deals with these prisons.

My Fault {[ “Mea Culpa" !!!]} Pls HELP!
To BWilkins, JamesBWatson, RadioFan, Gene93k, Nageh etc. wise ppl ...
With no intentions to do HARM to anyone i did attempt to create an article here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Vassilina_Dikidjieva -
not knowing that all of it will remain forever visible in the Wikipedia Archives and -actually- indexed and revealed by a simple Google NAME search to all the world to enjoy ...
This turns out to be extremely unpleasant and objectionable to the (innocent) persons directly concerned. (Obviously, especially in the cases of “NO EVIDENCE OF NOTABILITY" this turns out to look quite ugly; for artists are sensitive ppl). I have been -quite justly, of course- strongly criticized for my initiative . Once again, i will point out that in other Languages rules are much more relaxed, people write self-promoting articles freely, all the time.
Lacking much expertise myself, I guess I am not at LIBERTY to simply go back and delete the exchanged views and negotiations and discussions, no? It will be considered a Vandalism - not my cup of tea at all.
Is there any way you wise people of Administration to remove the whole discussion, pls?
PLEASE?
Or at least HIDE it from view through a Google Name Search? I am aware that some texts included in this coding:
BLAH.
will remain invisible in the eventually PUBLISHED pages ...?
I assure you, that all your attention to this matter and your effort and results will be highly appreciated; and my affection towards the Wikipaedia Project will get restored.
Actually, once I did apply for some photographs (of the same person) to be removed from Wiki Media Commons upon her strong objections and my plea got answered and matter settled satisfactorily.

Hi, JamesBWatson. I am slightly concerned about this new section that PhanuelB has recently added to his talk page. He seems to be using it as a holding area for lengthy negative quotations about a particular living person (for what purpose, I am unsure). Is this acceptable with regard to user talk page guidelines on content? I ask mainly because PhanuelB has previously compiled lists of this nature under the claim that the sources are reliable, but such collections are clearly intended to advance a specific POV and seem to amount to little more than soapboxing with quotations. I also wonder whether there are inherent WP:BLP concerns in the creation of such a section, and whether the copying-and-pasting of long extracts from sources is perhaps dubious with a mind to WP:COPYVIO - it does not appear to me to be a suitable use of a user talk page. Do you believe that there is a cause for concern? Regards, Super Mario Man 11:40, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello James, I would really appreciate it if you could help me out here, I am in the process of getting the article for 'Phyzical Thurapy' approved. I have made changes to the article and added some valid websites like radio station articles, etc under the 'career' section. But I know it says to contact administrator first if a similar page is being recreated. I am editing the page and adding valid points. I have copy-pasted the whole set up for the 'Phyzical Thurapy' page below. Please help me to get this article up. I would really appreciate your help James. God Bless Man. Thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zackfrint ( talk • contribs) 08:56, 29 June 2011
Hey James, thanks for your help. So in order for "Phyzical Thurapy" to be created, they would have to have articles from online magazines, or interviews, radio stations, without exact wording from the phyzicalthurapy.com website? Correct? So unless they have notable articles online by a publisher, it will not be approved, right? I'm just trying to better understand. You've been really helpful! Please let me know, thanks James. God Bless!

Hi James, this is with respect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Strat_student - you have blocked the IP address; this belongs to an educational institution with over 2000 users and some of them currently working on a Wikipedia project.

I'm getting tired of reverting this character. He seems to have a particular obsession with Glenn Shadix, persistently adding him to the Frankenweenie film. Evidence of him playing games and trying to rewrite the career of this actor are his edits to Sleepy Hollow (film): he just reverted [3] Shadix's "role" there (which is correct), but seemed to have no problem when he added it [4] back in March.

Hello Mr Watson,
I am the (French) editor of the page you deleted about Jean-Pierre Garnier-Malet. I am curious you deleted it as a hoax. I am his publisher in the US. All his scientific publications are true and can be verified. I have the paper presented at the Academy of Sciences in Paris where his demonstration, about the Laplace-Bernouilli equation, is presented with his name : Jean-Pierre Malet. He did received the Best Paper Award from the AIP in 2006 :I also have this publication. All the other references can be verified and true. Would you be fair enough to do so, please? Perhaps I did not include the right format of his publications: if it is the case I am sorry. If you can indicate me how to do it, I will be pleased to comply. As it is my first editing, I certainly can do some mistakes and I gladly accept all remarks. My name is my real name and the work, existence and publications of Jean-Pierre Garnier-Malet are true, real and no fantasy. I really appreciate your work on Wikipedia, but please, verify Jean-Pierre's publications and you will see by yourself that there is no hoax there. As a scientist yourself, I can imagine you verify what is easy to verify: scientific publications are so. And yes, it is more time consuming than just deleting the page as an hoax. I truly again appreciate your follow up on this matter. Thank you.

That's why we act as the second set of eyes. :-) Regards, -- causa sui ( talk) 19:18, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm trying to teach students to use Wikipedia. I am getting them to "play" (your words) with creating wiki articles based on other articles. Now this is definately "fair use" and it is using wiki content for wiki advantage and copyright does not apply if stuff is for your own use only. Can you please reverse your decision with respect to User:EleanorShone and a friendly comment would not go amiss. Lets imagine that every student in the country created a page in their sandbox .... are they not allowed to do this? Come on .... be welcoming! Victuallers ( talk) 15:16, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Can you look at the first sentence of this section? It states that they sailed in the S.S. Onega (Oneida?). This looks terrible and I can't find sources for either. The editor who put it in stated on the talk page, "Lucas records the ship carrying his parents to the Falklands after their marriage as S.S. Onega whereas the display board in Harberton church records it as the S.S. Oneida." Do I remove one, or find a way to work around the entire thing? I would prefer that it is not on the page as I would like to get the article to B or good article status. Ryan Vesey ( talk) 14:03, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
I was wondering if you could give you opinion on the picture nomination to be a featured picture. -- The Egyptian Liberal ( talk) 10:07, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
I have reworked the wording of the Thousand Kites Wikipedia page that my colleague wrote so that I believe it no longer has a promotional tone. If you think that it still does, could you help me to remove that tone rather than delete the page altogether? It's not as though this is untrue or non-notable information. It is very relevant, as this organization has thousands of followers, and we simply wish to be informative about it. Also, when we have linked the Up the Ridge documentary or Thousand Kites page to the prisons that they focus on, the links are continuously deleted. I understand that this seems like promotion, but anybody interested in looking at the pages of these specific prisons would probably find it helpful to be linked to a documentary that directly deals with these prisons. Let me know what you think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimbrey ( talk • contribs) 15:18, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
My Fault {[ “Mea Culpa" !!!]} Pls HELP!
To BWilkins, JamesBWatson, RadioFan, Gene93k, Nageh etc. wise ppl ...
With no intentions to do HARM to anyone i did attempt to create an article here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Vassilina_Dikidjieva -
not knowing that all of it will remain forever visible in the Wikipedia Archives and -actually- indexed and revealed by a simple Google NAME search to all the world to enjoy ...
This turns out to be extremely unpleasant and objectionable to the (innocent) persons directly concerned. (Obviously, especially in the cases of “NO EVIDENCE OF NOTABILITY" this turns out to look quite ugly; for artists are sensitive ppl). I have been -quite justly, of course- strongly criticized for my initiative . Once again, i will point out that in other Languages rules are much more relaxed, people write self-promoting articles freely, all the time.
Lacking much expertise myself, I guess I am not at LIBERTY to simply go back and delete the exchanged views and negotiations and discussions, no? It will be considered a Vandalism - not my cup of tea at all.
Is there any way you wise people of Administration to remove the whole discussion, pls?
PLEASE?
Or at least HIDE it from view through a Google Name Search? I am aware that some texts included in this coding:
BLAH.
will remain invisible in the eventually PUBLISHED pages ...?
I assure you, that all your attention to this matter and your effort and results will be highly appreciated; and my affection towards the Wikipaedia Project will get restored.
Actually, once I did apply for some photographs (of the same person) to be removed from Wiki Media Commons upon her strong objections and my plea got answered and matter settled satisfactorily.
R.S.V.P. = Please RESPOND. Thx, best rgds, Peter S. D.
{P.S. Come to think of it, probably a Warning at the very point of initiation of an Article for a Living Person would be a good idea in the future, for such enthusiasts as myself to shyaway?} Ecce Nemo 21:32, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
This isn't a user, and the warnings aren't only for the user. This is an anonymous account, for which editors need to be able to easily see earlier warnings to see how the user is or is not a problem. - Denimadept ( talk) 21:06, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
More, there's no way to know that the user(s) responsible for issues have seen the problem. As an anonymous account at a library, 50 people could use it a day, only one or two of which are relevant. The others can read it without impact to them but without warning the actual people involved. I reiterate, this is not A user, it's likely SEVERAL users. - Denimadept ( talk) 21:09, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I'm wondering how to delete the Eugene Castelle redirect. The redirect itself is not necessary there are few articles that linked to it see. I looked over the Wikipedia:Cross-namespace redirects and Wikipedia:Redirect#Reasons for deleting. In Reasons for deleting redirects if it causes "confusion to readers" and if it contains nontrivial edit history. -- Vic49 ( talk) 19:27, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
for the revert on my talk page. Send me a bill (I won't pay it but send it anyway!) Thanks, Chris W4chris ( talk) 20:36, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, JamesBWatson. I am slightly concerned about this new section that PhanuelB has recently added to his talk page. He seems to be using it as a holding area for lengthy negative quotations about a particular living person (for what purpose, I am unsure). Is this acceptable with regard to user talk page guidelines on content? I ask mainly because PhanuelB has previously compiled lists of this nature under the claim that the sources are reliable, but such collections are clearly intended to advance a specific POV and seem to amount to little more than soapboxing with quotations. I also wonder whether there are inherent WP:BLP concerns in the creation of such a section, and whether the copying-and-pasting of long extracts from sources is perhaps dubious with a mind to WP:COPYVIO - it does not appear to me to be a suitable use of a user talk page. Do you believe that there is a cause for concern? Regards, Super Mario Man 11:40, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello James, I would really appreciate it if you could help me out here, I am in the process of getting the article for 'Phyzical Thurapy' approved. I have made changes to the article and added some valid websites like radio station articles, etc under the 'career' section. But I know it says to contact administrator first if a similar page is being recreated. I am editing the page and adding valid points. I have copy-pasted the whole set up for the 'Phyzical Thurapy' page below. Please help me to get this article up. I would really appreciate your help James. God Bless Man. Thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zackfrint ( talk • contribs) 08:56, 29 June 2011
Hey James, thanks for your help. So in order for "Phyzical Thurapy" to be created, they would have to have articles from online magazines, or interviews, radio stations, without exact wording from the phyzicalthurapy.com website? Correct? So unless they have notable articles online by a publisher, it will not be approved, right? I'm just trying to better understand. You've been really helpful! Please let me know, thanks James. God Bless!

I am assuming it was a mistake since you immediately reverted it but I had to deal with the autoblocker. I'd like to kindly ask you to be more careful in the future. Also please delete the revisions in my talk page identifying my IP address to the general public. -- Cat chi? 16:58, 29 June 2011 (UTC) Done Sincere apologies.

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:EncyMind. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Hawkeye7 ( talk) 23:25, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi JamesBWatson. I just looked at the the above editor's edits, and need to find someone with Rollback Rights willing to revert his strange punctuation edits. memphisto 15:28, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for doing that. Unfortunately, the editor has ignored your message on his talk page and continues with his strange punctuation edits. memphisto 11:05, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
I have reverted the most recent edits (and some older ones), but wonder if this users habit of editing the article several times is a ruse to make reverting more difficult? memphisto 11:35, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi James, this is with respect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Strat_student - you have blocked the IP address; this belongs to an educational institution with over 2000 users and some of them currently working on a Wikipedia project. Please lift the block asap. While I can lift the block myself as an administrator, I felt it appropriate that the one who blocks also unblocks. You may want to reconsider your tactic of indefinite blocks for ips as most ips are shared by a large number of people in countries like India. -- Gurubrahma ( talk) 15:45, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
