In October you protected these pages to prevent them from being repeatedly recreated; that followed an AfD in April which closed as redirect ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aron "Deuce" Erlichman).
In fact, there's rather more about this subject that just those two articles and one AfD; what I have been able to find includes an earlier AfD which closed with the same result ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deuce (singer)), an AfD for a forthcoming solo album which closed as userfy/redirect a couple of weeks ago ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nine Lives (Deuce album) (2nd nomination))), other related articles which are currently also currently nominated for deletion (by me, on the basis the subject has no article): Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aron (album), Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2012_January_2#Template:Deuce, and a bunch of other articles which have all been created as, or since been turned into, redirects to Hollywood Undead, including Deuce (Artist), Deuce (Hollywood Undead)), Deuce (Hollywood Undead Member), Deuce (Tha Producer), Deuce (Vocalist), Deuce (producer), Deuce (singer), Deuce discography and Tha Producer.
Overlooked in all of this has been Deuce (musician) (formerly Deuce (singer)), which has existed alongside all the deleted / redirected articles since mid-2009. It should really have been turned into a redirect when the other articles you since protected were, but was overlooked at the time. Unsurprisingly, my attempts to do that now have been reverted.
Would you care to review Deuce (musician), and if you think the article should be redirected then consider doing it and protecting it also?
Many thanks! RichardOSmith ( talk) 17:50, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
With all due respect, James, I think your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Setareh Diba as a speedy delete (A7) was erroneous, since I had already declined a speedy deletion on the same ground. You have every right to disagree with me, but I think the general practice is that an article cannot be speedied after a previous speedy request has been declined. On the merits, also, I think this was not a speediable article. WP:CSD#A7 says "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines." Here, there was a claim, even though it was not supported by a reliable source and probably did not satisfy the notability guidelines. -- R'n'B ( call me Russ) 22:08, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I'm just a little bit confused as to why you redirected "Deuce" to "Hollywood Undead". Last year the decision was made that Deuce be removed and redicrected to HU until Deuce had gained notable recognition and have more works as a solo artist. He is now signed, with an album coming out in March (two singles of which have been released [one leaked illegally]) , sponsored by a clothing line, released an official mixtape and signed with Ten Street Entertainment (under eleven seven music [motley crue,papa roach, blondie, etc]) and performed at 2010 Epicenter, opening for Eminem, performing between KISS, Blink-182, Rise Against etc as well as reaching over 100,000 likes on Facebook; The decision was made a few months ago that Deuce did qualify for his own article.
I respect the fact that you know more about wikipedia editing and rules/regs than I do, so please message back!
Thank you, happy new year.

I will now pursue the WP:DR policy. I am also very concerned about sock puppets being used to avoid detection. As this is my second day as a Wikipedia editor I am trying to learn how to deal with this problem. According to WP:DR, one is advised to try first of all to resolve disputes by using the discussion page - but how can this work when the page you are disputing skips to a different page when you try to view it? If you see the discussion of the original page, there was no 'consensus' to delete the page. There were clear objections by several users that they did not want the page to be redirected or merged with the Ireland page. The other users set out their reasoning for the page not to be merged very clearly. Please advise on how to deal with this problem, especially regarding the redirection aspect. I am afraid to revert any changes in case I will be blocked again. Seamus48 ( talk) 16:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
"Unsourced article about a non-notable band that fails." Well, if article is unsourced and/or not well written then it maybe deserves to be deleted, but "non-notable band that fails" is certainly not a valid argument, and not true at all if you ask me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.147.70.11 ( talk) 19:18, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I believe my actions are well grounded in the (other parts of) the Wikipedia:Blocking policy. Myself and others have assumed good faith from them time and time again - and they've done nothing but completely ignore us all. I find it indicative that the said user has continued to ignore us - they haven't made a modicum of effort to appeal the block.
We know little about the IP addresses - they're both in the same huge 58.160.0.0/12 netblock owned by Telstra Internet. I don't see any particular indication from WHOIS that it could be a shared IP address. No other user seems to have come forward to complain. Obviously they may well exist, yet might simply be uninformed or confused about the matter enough to not to have told us.
I saw no hint of evidence that unblocking the addresses would produce a result that would not be harmful, so I left it as is for the time being.
In any case, if you feel this caution is now outweighed by the possibility that another legitimate user is being prevented from editing, feel free to unblock the IP addresses.

Dear James, I just read your Delete on the Whippany River Watershed Action Committee article. I thought this was an organization that was notable. I just came across this live link on the United States Environmental Protection Agency website http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/7144dd430c47561885257018004c77a3/d6165ffef5f792e18525716a005bccfb!OpenDocument on the Whippany River Watershed Action Committee, middle of page. To help me in future articles I may create, isn't something like this notable? The Whippany River Watershed Management project was New Jersey’s pilot watershed management project. The Watershed Action Committee is a coalition of citizens and municipalities dedicated to preserving and protecting the land and water resources within the watershed and achieving the goals of the watershed management plan. Among their accomplishments is the creation of model ordinances that have been adopted by watershed municipalities to address nonpoint source pollution. They have also undertaken a project to achieve a 58% reduction in fecal coliform to meet the Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL, established by the plan. Through education and outreach they are engaging the entire watershed community in the effort to restore and protect its valuable water resources.
Thanks in advance for your comments. ( LeonardC ( talk) 18:59, 5 January 2012 (UTC))
Dear JamesB, I do appreciate all your time to date. I think you spend WAY too much time editing Wikipedia! But you obviously love what you do. I read your page. I found an article that appeared in the Star-Ledger, New Jerseys's largest newspaper, that is not listed/referenced on the page http://wrwac.org/news/SL_study_part1.jpg I found it on the committee's website. And another article that appeared in the Star Ledger earlier this year. I googled this one. http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/01/storm-drain_filters_to_protect.html WOuldn't these two articles, coupled with the US EPA's brief paragraph as well as many mentions on the New Jersey Department of Envioronmental Protection website show notability? These coupled together must be notable sources? Thanks again for your time and reply ( LeonardC ( talk) 21:20, 6 January 2012 (UTC))

to quote you:
"Since you have used an unblock request to commit yet more infantile vandalism, your talk page access will be removed to stop you wasting still more of our time. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:57, 8 January 2012 (UTC)"
the above was your respond to this:

I'd like to ask this question: Where in the "Request reason" section did username Weekeepeediaisthetruth asserted that the use on unblock request was to "commit yet more infantile vandalism"? Clearly, the section only revolved around the inquiry of a location and lack any intention towards your assessment. How did you arrive with your conclusion that the said username has committed to add more infantile vandalism?

Thanks much for blocking User Hubrast. I was put off and disappointed by another admin's initial response to my request for this action: The reasoning was incorrect.

As you have mentioned in your section january 2012, "Please do not keep creating articles about works with no notability, just because they are connected with your family"
I would like to inform that I am not creating articles just because Bharat Bhushan ji was my maternal Grandfather. He was a noted poet here in India only for that reason I am creating articles about him. His works are notable. His books are very much in demand, of course by scholars as only they can understand standard poetry. Many students did Ph.D. on him, wrote thesis on him. The page which I had created naming it as Ram ki JalSamadhi is one of his most popular and most famous poetry. But still the page was deleted. I don't know why. So many times he has been awarded by different Governments and different Hindi Organisations for his notable work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{2}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{2}}}|contribs]]) 21:08, 9 January 2012 Gsaxena1809
Hi,
I reverted your removal of the blocked editor's stuff. My reasoning being they started that thread and that others were participating in it; as there is no REQUIREMENT to remove their edits it seems to me that either the thread ought to be removed or they ought to be allowed to contribute towards it. Feel free to revert if you feel I am in error, or of course to remove the thread entirely - I am not in love with their edits

James, Thank you for your assistance regarding the article Tachash and the sockpuppetry/own crap that has been going on. As you may have seen from the article history this has played out over the course of a year or more, with multiple SP accounts and has pissed off a good number of editors. Right now I'm a bit too burnt out regarding the article to wade though the revisions and sort the wheat from the chaff but maybe I'll get back on the horse in the future. For now, thank you again for your help. Joe407 ( talk) 13:54, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

James, apparently an editor is not happy with my editing, as he did on User talk: Abhijay. It appears to be that he is upset that I tagged a page of submission for deletion and the deleting admin agreed with the criteria, but no offence to him really but he's saying that I drive people away from the project, even though I spend 10 bloody minutes reviewing a newly created article before decided to place it for deletion or not.

I'd appreciate reasons for the deletion as (a) the service has been reviewed by many people in the industry - check on Google, or look at the references (b) the service is much used by information professionals (c) the content is neutral and verifiable
I'd also be happy to make minor changes if appropriate

Hi
Thanks - but I didn't see any mention of notability in the comments made today. That was the comment made in April - before we had media coverage and large numbers of users.
I'm confused by this system! Don't feel I know what's going on.

I've seen your comments now from yesterday.
However I would like to challenge the notability arguments.
The most meaningful comments and opinions on a new search engine are going to be made by specialists in the field.
In this case we have reviews from both
SearchEngineLand and
Search Engine Journal (both referenced in the article).
These reviews are more valuable than, say, an article in a generalist newspaper - they know what they're talking about.
If you mean 'populist' rather than 'notable' - then you're right - Zanran doesn't fit the bill.

The information on the principal is currently incorrect, and the information as of 18th December forward is correct. Therefor could you please add this and the following which was deleted and which is not biased, but can be said to be fact from a quick search of the college's and other websites:
Moulton College runs a number of commercial ventures from its campus in Moulton. This includes a working farm, a sports centre, an equestrian centre, garden centre, two veternary surgeries, a florists, pet shop and a number of coffee shops. The sports facilties at the College are available for use by the general public and are used by many local sports team, with Northampton Town FC and England women's national field hockey team both regularly training on the campus.

My first point is that he could not be a sock. He doesn't even have Curious in his name.
Second Point That Tinga Tinga episodes article already had content I'm afraid and it was worked on so hard. Another IP worked hard on it who was not the same person. Episodes already got merged. It was merged because episodes needed their own article. Now you restore that or I'll have to do it all over again.
Third Point that Emily the Stirling Engine has been the official name by many youtube videos. That's what it is meant to be called.
Fourth Point is I will not rest till the Zoo articles are unprotected. Time you though bout others mate. I would go to request for adminship and demote your admin rights if have to. You're a meanie. Why can't you let people edit in peace and stop protecting stuff we don't want protected. You only protect if someone asks you to.

I am disappointed that an administrator could interact with a new and confused user such as PhysicsDude21 the way that you did. He created an inappropriate article, yes, and clearly doesn't know the rules of Wikipedia, but rather than welcoming a new user and giving him guidance, you treated him brusquely and saw to it that he was quickly banned. All that is seems to me that he did was make an erroneous argument based on not understanding Wikipedia. I just don't get it. Nwlaw63 ( talk) 20:31, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello James,
I feel it's completely unfair to remove the write-up on me from Wikipedia, as the sole purpose of it is to showcase what I'm busy doing and have done to gain the title of Miss South Africa International 2012.
You could argue that Elvis Blue cannot feature under famous people for George, South Africa, as well then. He just won Idols South Africa and is not making a considerable change in the world - merely singing, whereas I am punting nature conservation and environmental awareness.
Please let me know how I should change the page to reflect this as it does not make any sense why you would've removed me. Furthermore the write-up that you say is copied from Facebook is false. This write-up was done for me as Miss SA International 2012 and features on facebook as well, but is not copied.
Please respond to me as soon as you find the time? Thank you very much.

The relatively new User:Wikipeditist (1st edit Dec 19) looks much like User:CuriousWikian590 (1st edit Oct 28th, blocked Nov 26) who is a sock of User:Mr. Curious Man(blocked Dec 1). I accidently ran across this while explaining the problems in List of Tinga Tinga Tales episodes to DGG. Since you blocked CuriousWikian590 before, I wanted to see if you can look at this closer. Both 'created' List of Tinga Tinga Tales episodes separately, plus several of socks have worked on Tinga Tinga Tales, as well as Wikipeditist, right after the other socks were blocked. I haven't tagged as such yet, wanted your opinion, and if appropriate, action. Dennis Brown ( talk) 19:14, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Why is there a COI tag on Bruce A. Langos? — Jeraphine Gryphon ( talk) 17:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Dear Sir,
I am the editor for Noah Lott's page and I need to know why it was deleted. I did my best to format, site sources and so forth. I have a feeling that deleting a Wiki page is based on an editor's personal interpretation on the Wiki guidelines. From what I've read, your deletion (G4) was based on feedback about 7-8 months ago. I have since made the corrections based on their comments and had one or two of the people who requested deletion actually help out in formatting.
I'm not slighting you but Noah Lott is a legitimate wrestling worker and based on other pages, I thought it was I was meeting the standards.
Sincerely,
Tom — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjrude ( talk • contribs) 18:52, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
I redid the links to reflect ACCURATE information. You just reinforced my fears that Wiki editors who are not familiar with a subject will delete. Noah Lott is not a non-notable, he is a highly respected pro wrestler within the industry, including agents in the WWE who see potential in him. There are lesser known wrestlers on Wiki, are they non-notable too? The new version of his page reflects all the changes, including deleting sources you mention so I don't know which Noah Lott page you were looking at.
I will add Noah's page again and I WILL make Noah a notable figure. I WILL follow the Wiki guidelines.
Instead if deleted and hiding behind the "G4" reason. I would appreciate any assistance.

You are now the third person who has intervened on this matter without apparently having appreciated the triviality. And surely Wikipedia was never intended to be taken so seriously and would be much more valuable if it remained a pleasingly friendly source of non-authoritative information.
Incidentally, your user page contains some oddly inconsistent attitudes - inter alia "I think I had probably made a few edits anonymously, but I don't actually remember." - to the values you seem so keen to impose.
90.199.27.242 ( talk) 14:08, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure how much clearer those comments could have been; it is contributors like yourself who are undermining Wikipedia by refusing to acknowledge that there may be some value in adopting a slightly different approach. Just because information exists does not make it correct or necessarily worthy of being taken seriously but your attitude seems to rather conveniently discount that possibility. What an strangely sad and dangerous person you must be !!

Can I ask that you take another look at this G12 speedy? I recently stumbled across it and found it a little odd. Obviously I could not see the version you deleted so I thought I'd take a look at Senior Chief Petty Officer instead. This article also shows remarkable similarity to the page at myarmedforces.com . However having looked into that instance I'm certain it's a backwards copy. Wayback machine only shows copies at myarmedforces.com going back to 2008 whereas we've had essentially the same text since 2005. Looking through the history there is also a lot of evidence of organic change at wikipedia, many of which also occur on myarmedforces.com. As an example this edit changed an example of "BT for Boiler Technician" to "QM for Quartermaster" and we see the later version at myamedforces.com. This is but one of many such examples. Having concluded that they copied from us for that article it seems likely that they also have for Chief Petty Officer (United States) and so I ask that you take a second look. If you'd prefer not to investigate yourself could you restore and list at WP:CP please? Dpmuk ( talk) 18:32, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi JamesBWatson,
I wanted to alert you to the newly created article New America NYC. I had previously made this page, and you deleted it. I am admittedly new to Wikipedia editing and, after reading more materials on how to properly write one, understand how flawed the previous page was. I feel I have put together a fair, unbias, and informative page on New America NYC with external links, no promotional text, and further reasoning as to its importance.

In October you protected these pages to prevent them from being repeatedly recreated; that followed an AfD in April which closed as redirect ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aron "Deuce" Erlichman).
In fact, there's rather more about this subject that just those two articles and one AfD; what I have been able to find includes an earlier AfD which closed with the same result ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deuce (singer)), an AfD for a forthcoming solo album which closed as userfy/redirect a couple of weeks ago ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nine Lives (Deuce album) (2nd nomination))), other related articles which are currently also currently nominated for deletion (by me, on the basis the subject has no article): Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aron (album), Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2012_January_2#Template:Deuce, and a bunch of other articles which have all been created as, or since been turned into, redirects to Hollywood Undead, including Deuce (Artist), Deuce (Hollywood Undead)), Deuce (Hollywood Undead Member), Deuce (Tha Producer), Deuce (Vocalist), Deuce (producer), Deuce (singer), Deuce discography and Tha Producer.
Overlooked in all of this has been Deuce (musician) (formerly Deuce (singer)), which has existed alongside all the deleted / redirected articles since mid-2009. It should really have been turned into a redirect when the other articles you since protected were, but was overlooked at the time. Unsurprisingly, my attempts to do that now have been reverted.
Would you care to review Deuce (musician), and if you think the article should be redirected then consider doing it and protecting it also?
Many thanks! RichardOSmith ( talk) 17:50, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
With all due respect, James, I think your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Setareh Diba as a speedy delete (A7) was erroneous, since I had already declined a speedy deletion on the same ground. You have every right to disagree with me, but I think the general practice is that an article cannot be speedied after a previous speedy request has been declined. On the merits, also, I think this was not a speediable article. WP:CSD#A7 says "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines." Here, there was a claim, even though it was not supported by a reliable source and probably did not satisfy the notability guidelines. -- R'n'B ( call me Russ) 22:08, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I'm just a little bit confused as to why you redirected "Deuce" to "Hollywood Undead". Last year the decision was made that Deuce be removed and redicrected to HU until Deuce had gained notable recognition and have more works as a solo artist. He is now signed, with an album coming out in March (two singles of which have been released [one leaked illegally]) , sponsored by a clothing line, released an official mixtape and signed with Ten Street Entertainment (under eleven seven music [motley crue,papa roach, blondie, etc]) and performed at 2010 Epicenter, opening for Eminem, performing between KISS, Blink-182, Rise Against etc as well as reaching over 100,000 likes on Facebook; The decision was made a few months ago that Deuce did qualify for his own article.
I respect the fact that you know more about wikipedia editing and rules/regs than I do, so please message back!
Thank you, happy new year.

I will now pursue the WP:DR policy. I am also very concerned about sock puppets being used to avoid detection. As this is my second day as a Wikipedia editor I am trying to learn how to deal with this problem. According to WP:DR, one is advised to try first of all to resolve disputes by using the discussion page - but how can this work when the page you are disputing skips to a different page when you try to view it? If you see the discussion of the original page, there was no 'consensus' to delete the page. There were clear objections by several users that they did not want the page to be redirected or merged with the Ireland page. The other users set out their reasoning for the page not to be merged very clearly. Please advise on how to deal with this problem, especially regarding the redirection aspect. I am afraid to revert any changes in case I will be blocked again. Seamus48 ( talk) 16:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I believe my actions are well grounded in the (other parts of) the Wikipedia:Blocking policy. Myself and others have assumed good faith from them time and time again - and they've done nothing but completely ignore us all. I find it indicative that the said user has continued to ignore us - they haven't made a modicum of effort to appeal the block.
We know little about the IP addresses - they're both in the same huge 58.160.0.0/12 netblock owned by Telstra Internet. I don't see any particular indication from WHOIS that it could be a shared IP address. No other user seems to have come forward to complain. Obviously they may well exist, yet might simply be uninformed or confused about the matter enough to not to have told us.
I saw no hint of evidence that unblocking the addresses would produce a result that would not be harmful, so I left it as is for the time being.
In any case, if you feel this caution is now outweighed by the possibility that another legitimate user is being prevented from editing, feel free to unblock the IP addresses.

Dear James, I just read your Delete on the Whippany River Watershed Action Committee article. I thought this was an organization that was notable. I just came across this live link on the United States Environmental Protection Agency website http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/7144dd430c47561885257018004c77a3/d6165ffef5f792e18525716a005bccfb!OpenDocument on the Whippany River Watershed Action Committee, middle of page. To help me in future articles I may create, isn't something like this notable? The Whippany River Watershed Management project was New Jersey’s pilot watershed management project. The Watershed Action Committee is a coalition of citizens and municipalities dedicated to preserving and protecting the land and water resources within the watershed and achieving the goals of the watershed management plan. Among their accomplishments is the creation of model ordinances that have been adopted by watershed municipalities to address nonpoint source pollution. They have also undertaken a project to achieve a 58% reduction in fecal coliform to meet the Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL, established by the plan. Through education and outreach they are engaging the entire watershed community in the effort to restore and protect its valuable water resources.
Thanks in advance for your comments. ( LeonardC ( talk) 18:59, 5 January 2012 (UTC))

I would like to inform that I am not creating articles just because Bharat Bhushan ji was my maternal Grandfather. He was a noted poet here in India only for that reason I am creating articles about him. His works are notable. His books are very much in demand, of course by scholars as only they can understand standard poetry. Many students did Ph.D. on him, wrote thesis on him. The page which I had created naming it as Ram ki JalSamadhi is one of his most popular and most famous poetry. But still the page was deleted. I don't know why.

Hi,
I reverted your removal of the blocked editor's stuff. My reasoning being they started that thread and that others were participating in it; as there is no REQUIREMENT to remove their edits it seems to me that either the thread ought to be removed or they ought to be allowed to contribute towards it. Feel free to revert if you feel I am in error, or of course to remove the thread entirely - I am not in love with their edits

I've seen your comments now from yesterday.
However I would like to challenge the notability arguments.
The most meaningful comments and opinions on a new search engine are going to be made by specialists in the field.
In this case we have reviews from both
SearchEngineLand and
Search Engine Journal (both referenced in the article).
These reviews are more valuable than, say, an article in a generalist newspaper - they know what they're talking about.
If you mean 'populist' rather than 'notable' - then you're right - Zanran doesn't fit the bill.

Hi JamesBWatson. This article seems objective to me (no praise, etc.). Duffy (or someone claiming they are Duffy) only corrected two wrong facts, so don't you think the "autobiography" warning should be taken away?

Hi I was just requesting that you put back up the wiki page for "LikeALittle". It's a unique site that has gained enough attention for it to warrant an article. On my campus LikeALittle is actively used and quite popular--like Foursquare it's a unique concept that's part. I can point you to numerous articles that it's enough of a social phenomenom that it should be a webpage, for example, here's some articles on it: http://studymagazine.com/2010/12/17/canadian-students-fall-flirting-website/ http://ubyssey.ca/culture/like-a-little-the-twitter-of-unrequited-love/ Spudst3r ( talk) 05:19, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

I've overhauled the Jagjit Singh article subsequent to you reinstating the COI tag. Is it still required, given the cruft removal + sourcing that I have done? - Sitush ( talk) 12:40, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
My first point is that he could not be a sock. He doesn't even have Curious in his name.
Second Point That Tinga Tinga episodes article already had content I'm afraid and it was worked on so hard. Another IP worked hard on it who was not the same person. Episodes already got merged. It was merged because episodes needed their own article. Now you restore that or I'll have to do it all over again.
Third Point that Emily the Stirling Engine has been the official name by many youtube videos. That's what it is meant to be called.
Fourth Point is I will not rest till the Zoo articles are unprotected. Time you though bout others mate. I would go to request for adminship and demote your admin rights if have to. You're a meanie. Why can't you let people edit in peace and stop protecting stuff we don't want protected. You only protect if someone asks you to. Just because you block someone it does not mean you can remove all their logs.

Could you take a look at the article Extreme Adventure Travel- trust me, it won't take long. It has recently been created by Andy Lee Graham. I was wondering if it should be proposed for deletion or put up for AfD. I'm not that familiar with doing either of these, although I do get involved in the AfD discussions. There are actually quite a few articles in this topic area that look very iffy. Tigerboy1966 ( talk) 16:56, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi!
Recently you left a copy of the COI template in my talk page. Since I haven't edited in a while, I was wondering if you did this because of an edit you saw or if you're just leaving these in other users' pages to build conscience about the issue?
Just wanted to make sure that nobody has "hijacked" my account or posted under my name...
PS: Would you be so kind to reply in my talk page, as I am not as active as I used to be? Thanks!!!

I am disappointed that an administrator could interact with a new and confused user such as PhysicsDude21 the way that you did. He created an inappropriate article, yes, and clearly doesn't know the rules of Wikipedia, but rather than welcoming a new user and giving him guidance, you treated him brusquely and saw to it that he was quickly banned. All that is seems to me that he did was make an erroneous argument based on not understanding Wikipedia. I just don't get it. Nwlaw63 ( talk) 20:31, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello James,
I feel it's completely unfair to remove the write-up on me from Wikipedia, as the sole purpose of it is to showcase what I'm busy doing and have done to gain the title of Miss South Africa International 2012.
You could argue that Elvis Blue cannot feature under famous people for George, South Africa, as well then. He just won Idols South Africa and is not making a considerable change in the world - merely singing, whereas I am punting nature conservation and environmental awareness.
Please let me know how I should change the page to reflect this as it does not make any sense why you would've removed me. Furthermore the write-up that you say is copied from Facebook is false. This write-up was done for me as Miss SA International 2012 and features on facebook as well, but is not copied.
Please respond to me as soon as you find the time? Thank you very much.

I wasent aware of the fact that you cannot copy from websites as I am new to this site. I am really extremly sorry for that. But please give me a chance. Please restore those articles and I promise to make them proper in 3 hours from the time I am online. Please do it and just give me one chance and if I fail you can even ban me from wikipedia, I wouldnt mind it as I was not good. I had worked very hard for that articles and had gathered the resourses but I didnt make it proper. I feel very bad for it. Please just give me one chance inorder to make those articles without the copied texts. If I again created them, it will take up very long time. Please consider my request and do it. I will take care about it next time for sure and this copyright thing will not be done again. Please restore those articles and I will surely improve them. Please just give me one last chance. Thank You. -- Yasht101 ( talk) 13:16, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

The relatively new User:Wikipeditist (1st edit Dec 19) looks much like User:CuriousWikian590 (1st edit Oct 28th, blocked Nov 26) who is a sock of User:Mr. Curious Man(blocked Dec 1). I accidently ran across this while explaining the problems in List of Tinga Tinga Tales episodes to DGG. Since you blocked CuriousWikian590 before, I wanted to see if you can look at this closer. Both 'created' List of Tinga Tinga Tales episodes separately, plus several of socks have worked on Tinga Tinga Tales, as well as Wikipeditist, right after the other socks were blocked. I haven't tagged as such yet, wanted your opinion, and if appropriate, action. Dennis Brown ( talk) 19:14, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Why is there a COI tag on Bruce A. Langos? — Jeraphine Gryphon ( talk) 17:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Dear Sir,
I am the editor for Noah Lott's page and I need to know why it was deleted. I did my best to format, site sources and so forth. I have a feeling that deleting a Wiki page is based on an editor's personal interpretation on the Wiki guidelines. From what I've read, your deletion (G4) was based on feedback about 7-8 months ago. I have since made the corrections based on their comments and had one or two of the people who requested deletion actually help out in formatting.
I'm not slighting you but Noah Lott is a legitimate wrestling worker and based on other pages, I thought it was I was meeting the standards.
Sincerely,
Tom — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjrude ( talk • contribs) 18:52, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
I redid the links to reflect ACCURATE information. You just reinforced my fears that Wiki editors who are not familiar with a subject will delete. Noah Lott is not a non-notable, he is a highly respected pro wrestler within the industry, including agents in the WWE who see potential in him. There are lesser known wrestlers on Wiki, are they non-notable too? The new version of his page reflects all the changes, including deleting sources you mention so I don't know which Noah Lott page you were looking at.
I will add Noah's page again and I WILL make Noah a notable figure. I WILL follow the Wiki guidelines.
Instead if deleted and hiding behind the "G4" reason. I would appreciate any assistance.

You are now the third person who has intervened on this matter without apparently having appreciated the triviality. And surely Wikipedia was never intended to be taken so seriously and would be much more valuable if it remained a pleasingly friendly source of non-authoritative information.
Incidentally, your user page contains some oddly inconsistent attitudes - inter alia "I think I had probably made a few edits anonymously, but I don't actually remember." - to the values you seem so keen to impose.
90.199.27.242 ( talk) 14:08, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure how much clearer those comments could have been; it is contributors like yourself who are undermining Wikipedia by refusing to acknowledge that there may be some value in adopting a slightly different approach. Just because information exists does not make it correct or necessarily worthy of being taken seriously but your attitude seems to rather conveniently discount that possibility. What an strangely sad and dangerous person you must be !!
90.199.27.113 ( talk) 19:33, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Can I ask that you take another look at this G12 speedy? I recently stumbled across it and found it a little odd. Obviously I could not see the version you deleted so I thought I'd take a look at Senior Chief Petty Officer instead. This article also shows remarkable similarity to the page at myarmedforces.com . However having looked into that instance I'm certain it's a backwards copy. Wayback machine only shows copies at myarmedforces.com going back to 2008 whereas we've had essentially the same text since 2005. Looking through the history there is also a lot of evidence of organic change at wikipedia, many of which also occur on myarmedforces.com. As an example this edit changed an example of "BT for Boiler Technician" to "QM for Quartermaster" and we see the later version at myamedforces.com. This is but one of many such examples. Having concluded that they copied from us for that article it seems likely that they also have for Chief Petty Officer (United States) and so I ask that you take a second look. If you'd prefer not to investigate yourself could you restore and list at WP:CP please? Dpmuk ( talk) 18:32, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi JamesBWatson,
I wanted to alert you to the newly created article New America NYC. I had previously made this page, and you deleted it. I am admittedly new to Wikipedia editing and, after reading more materials on how to properly write one, understand how flawed the previous page was. I feel I have put together a fair, unbias, and informative page on New America NYC with external links, no promotional text, and further reasoning as to its importance.
Thank you for your help,
